  • I’m not an expert on btrfs, but I assume the inconsistencies come from deduplication, metadata, and maybe compression. I think some of them just count raw block storage, and some include the cost of metadata.

    Traditional du assumes that each file takes up it’s full space on disk which isn’t always the case on btrfs. When using btrfs backed oci images, storage can easily appear multiple times higher.

    I use btrfs filesystem usage /. I’m not sure that it is the “correct” way, but it works fairly well.





    1. Codeberg is fully open source(forgejo) while gitlab has an open source core+community edition but a source available propietary enterprize edition.

    2. Codeberg is a nonprofit with no ulterior motives. Gitlab is a publicly traded for profit entity with a goal to make profit

    3. This could just be me, but codeberg feels a lot more transparent. When they have outages, they explain why.

    4. Super minor, but the codeberg team “self-hosts” their own servers so you only need to trust the one entity rather than additionally trusting the server provider.
