Details pane - Capacity

Capacity Utilization: User space that is used in a virtual volume. For fully provisioned virtual volumes, all User Rsvd Space is considered used. For thinly provisioned virtual volumes, only some portion of the User Rsvd Space can be used (the rest is User Free Space). This is 0 (zero) for snapshots.

User used size can be greater than the allocated space due to thin technologies. For more information, see the Thin Technologies Whitepaper .
