I think Ruben's complaint is that left to itself the installer created a lot of subvolumes and you really can't tell the space that they are each using from running a 'df'. A reason to dislike BtrFS? Well it was designed that way, which may be wrong. Which is why I created 'real' partitions (see above). The installer will honour them.
There are strong reasons to create all those "spaces" when using btrfs. One, is that when reverting an update by using that feature, you must not revert the logs and other information. Then for directories used for databases you should not use COW. Ie, it is for properly adjusting the settings on each directory, even if they are all in the same partition.
So, yes, leave those spaces alone ;-)
That is not nearly as important or frequently used as checking how much drive spacw i have or where something is mounted. It is information overload and a very poor design
On the other hand, "df" doesn't know about btrfs peculiarities.
