A customer has a 1000 GB volume that is at 25% capacity and has no existing Snapshot copies. The customer creates a Snapshot copy of the volume, creates a new 250 GB file, and deletes an existing…

350 GB free implies 650 GB consumed, which overcounts space - likely by treating the Snapshot as a full independent copy of all original data on top of the new file and deletion math.

400 GB free implies 600 GB consumed and incorrectly overstates total consumption beyond the actual 500 GB through flawed Snapshot overhead accounting.

The volume starts with 250 GB used (25% of 1000 GB) and 750 GB free; creating the Snapshot consumes no additional space immediately since it shares blocks with the active file system. Adding a new 250 GB file consumes 250 GB of free space, leaving 500 GB free. Deleting the 100 GB file does not reclaim space because the Snapshot retains those blocks exclusively, so total consumed space remains 500 GB and free space remains 500 GB.

600 GB free implies only 400 GB consumed, which results from incorrectly assuming the 100 GB deleted file's blocks were freed rather than being retained by the Snapshot copy.
