Hey guys,

I have a question about available space on NetApp FAS system.

Here the givens:

Volume - 400GB / Flexible / 10% Snapshot reserve

One LUN in this Volume - 150,0021GB / Space Reserved

So my calculation is:

400GB - 150GB - 150GB (first Snapshot) - 40GB = 60GB available

two questions:

-there is more than one snapshot available... how is it possible, that my volume available storage shows: 77,5GB?

-Snapshots are stored in normal data space... when data space is full, they will use the snapshot reserve... right?

thanks for your help

regards!
