What the Snapshot copy reserve is
The Snapshot copy reserve sets a specific percent of the disk space for Snapshot copies. By default, the Snapshot copy reserve is 5 percent of the disk space for a FlexVol volume and 0 percent for aggregates.
The active file system cannot consume the Snapshot copy reserve space, but the Snapshot copy reserve, if exhausted, can use space in the active file system.
