Disparity between Linux system and iSCSI volume

We have observed a large disparity between the reported usage of a number of ISCSI volumes when querying from the NetApp in comparison to when querying from the OS.
In all cases, the NetApp is showing greater usage than the OS. I have included examples of this are below.
Please, can you explain the reason for this disparity and perhaps more crucially what happens when the server tries to write past the point of space availability as reported by the NetApp.
