That makes much more sense from a different perspective as well. "Disk"
sounds so 20th-century spinning rust..., and at least to me, "du" isn't
as intuitive or commonly used as "df", so while "df" seems natural to me,
while I understand where "du" comes from, it still makes me go "huh?" as
I wouldn't expect to see it in the btrfs context.
So btrfs filesystem chunk(-usage), please. =:^)
