This is a nice little tool. The one suggestion that I have is that it
display the actual chunks and where they are located. It seems that
right now it uses the same ioctl that btrfs fi df uses, and that just
gets the total combined size for all chunks of a given type. It would
be nice if the gui actually parsed the chunk tree and showed each
individual chunk with lines showing how they are mapped to the physical
disks.
