Hi,

 

I have noticed that i have volume with a snapshot reserve of 0 pourcent but some space is still used by snapshot ?

How is that possible ?

 

Best regards,

That's exactly what I meant when I said - Could the snapshot used-space you have observed - is basically 'snapshots' in the active-file system space.

 

Basically:

If snapshot reserve is set to : 0, snapshots will consume active-file system space., these snapshots in the image takes up the  volume space. If you do NOT want any snapshots then you must disable the snapshots.

What is the output for this command for the 'subject' volume?

volume show -volume <volume> -fields snapshot-space-used,snapshot-reserve-available,snapshot-count
