btrfs-device: Display error statistics.
$ sudo btrfs device stats ${path-to-btrfs_filesystem}
try on your machine

The command "sudo btrfs device stats ${path-to-btrfs_filesystem}" is used to display statistical information about the devices in a Btrfs filesystem.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "sudo": This is a command used in Linux/Unix systems to run a command with administrative privileges. "sudo" stands for "SuperUser do."
  • "btrfs": This is the command for managing Btrfs filesystems.
  • "device stats": This option is used to display statistical information about the devices in the Btrfs filesystem.
  • "${path-to-btrfs_filesystem}": This is a placeholder representing the specific path or mount point to the Btrfs filesystem you want to analyze. You need to replace it with the actual path or mount point of your Btrfs filesystem.

By running this command with the appropriate path, you can view information such as the total number of devices, their sizes, used space, free space, and other device-related statistics of your Btrfs file system.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
