• Show filesystem usage (optionally run as root to show detailed information):
   
  btrfs filesystem usage {{path/to/btrfs_mount}}
   
• Show usage by individual devices:
   
  sudo btrfs filesystem show {{path/to/btrfs_mount}}
   
• Defragment a single file on a btrfs filesystem (avoid while a deduplication agent is running):
   
  sudo btrfs filesystem defragment -v {{path/to/file}}
   
• Defragment a directory recursively (does not cross subvolume boundaries):
   
  sudo btrfs filesystem defragment -v -r {{path/to/directory}}
   
• Force syncing unwritten data blocks to disk(s):
   
  sudo btrfs filesystem sync {{path/to/btrfs_mount}}
   
• Summarize disk usage for the files in a directory recursively:
   
  sudo btrfs filesystem du --summarize {{path/to/directory}}
