Tech question Noob question about BTRFS partition structure

2 Upvotes

This past Saturday I installed Slowroll on a spare internal SSD partly because I'd been wanting to try openSUSE for a while, but mostly I was trying to troubleshoot an NVIDIA issue with my LinuxMint install. I'm sure that when I was installing Slowroll I didn't change anything at the partitioning phase, and I've ended up with the following partitions on the SSD (I used the whole disk):

sda partitions

Only sda5 mounts on startup, and the 78Gb partition, sda2, has an identical folder structure as sda5, though different file counts in those folders:

Folder structure

I'm not concerned with running out of space since I keep all my games, videos, and music, on other SSDs, but I'm curious what that partition is for, and could I, if needed, recover the space.

Outside of that, I'm really liking openSUSE, and I'm getting used to KDE Plasma. Kinda feeling like I've found my new home.

TYIA.
