$ sudo btrfs filesystem show ${path-to-btrfs_mount}
try on your machine
The command "sudo btrfs filesystem show ${path-to-btrfs_mount}" is used to display information about a Btrfs filesystem.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "sudo" is used to run the command with administrative privileges. It allows the command to be executed as the superuser or root user.
- "btrfs filesystem show" is the main part of the command. It is used to display information about the Btrfs filesystem.
- "${path-to-btrfs_mount}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the Btrfs filesystem mount point. For example, if the Btrfs filesystem is mounted at "/mnt/btrfs", you would replace "${path-to-btrfs_mount}" with "/mnt/btrfs".
When you run this command with the correct path, it will provide information about the Btrfs filesystem, such as its UUID (Universally Unique Identifier), total size, used space, and other related details.
