Using ‘du’ directly on the .snapshots directly is counting everything in
those snapshots which could all be pointing to the same data over and
over. ‘du’ is not the best way to do this, though I think btrfs has tools
for calculating true used space. Anyway, this is why snapshots are neat,
because they are using the same space over and over when nothing has
changed, and you can access any single snapshot and see a full picture of
everything instead of just diffs from other snapshots.


Good luck.

You are using btrfs, and old tools like ‘du’ do not handle it well. It
is like counting hardlinks of the same file many times.

And no, if home is on a separate partition, it is not counted.
