Show HN: Dut, a fast Linux disk usage calculator
Something like that exists for btrfs; it's called bdtu. It has the accuracy/time trade-off you're interested in, but the implementation is quite different. It samples random points on the disk and finds out what file path they belong to. The longer it runs the more accurate it gets. The readme is good at explaining why this approach makes sense for btrfs and what its limitations are.

Missing Space - BTRFS Balance is the Answer?
Hello. I have a 2 TB nvme mounted as a subvol that contains dockervols. I recently noticed this discrepancy df -h | grep nvme0n1p1 /dev/nvme0n1p1 1.9T 1.3T 569G 70% /data vs. sudo du -h -d 0 /data 1.1T /data I tried using the btdu tool but I am not sure if I had it installed correctly as it didn't show the output like the examples shown on the github (https://github.com/CyberShadow/btdu)

More trouble with BTRFS 😑
It doesn't seem BTRFS's fault. You could run btdu on your subvolumes to understand what's going on.

Defrag eats space?
However, honestly, the best way to get a quick overview of where all your space is being used is btdu.

Space allocation
If you want to diagnose where you think there may be space used up that you don't quite understand, then btrfs fi du and third party tools btdu and compsize are useful.
