df shows on btrfs wrong disk size

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES Configure-Administer

Hello,

I hope someone can explain this behavior:

I have a virtual machine (hypervisor ESXi 5.X), installed OS is SLES 12 SP 1 and the used filesystem is btrfs.
I know that btrfs and df are showing different values for used and free space.
But I don’t know how I should understand, that df shows a bigger partition then configured.

The root partition is 28,5 GiB big and I get these values:

  • df - size 37GB

sles12vm:~ # df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 37G 9.1G 19G 34% /

  • btrfs

sles12vm:~ # btrfs filesystem show /
Label: none uuid: 5e77d6a7-b282-49ba-9417-ccb688be3b02
Total devices 1 FS bytes used 8.44GiB
devid 1 size 28.54GiB used 11.28GiB path /dev/sda2

So from where get’s df the additional 9~ GiB ?
