If you are using Snapshots with a thick volume / LUN, writing new data to the empty space of the volume / Lun will increase the Snapshot used space by the same size as the new data.

You must monitor the pool free space and recycle older Snapshots periodically to avoid running out of pool space. For this reason, thin volumes / LUN would be recommended when using Snapshots.
