--- Comment #5 from Philipp <philipp_foers...@yahoo.com> ---
the tool is called snapper, it makes use of BTRFS' copy on write capabilities.
It keeps snapshots as subfolders in the /.snapshot folder. Changed files are
stored there, all other files are referenced as hardlinks in each snapshot. 
I think that counting all hardlinks as regular sized files makes filelight
unusable. The displayed size of all files is way bigger than my hard drive for
example. Of course this is not an easy situation because it's hard to say where
the hardlinked file should be counted. Not counting it at all doesn't make
sense either. That's why i suggested to ignore the /.snapshot folder, because
it's the one folder where regular users get lots of hardlinks.
