In addition to including data-protection overhead, you can opt to include snapshot data when calculating a quota’s usage limits.
Note: SmartQuotas reports only on snapshots that are created after the quota domain was created because determining quota governance (including QuotaScan job) for existing snapshots consumes significant time and resources. However, as snapshots age out, SmartQuotas will gradually accrue accounting information for the entire set of relevant snapshots.
For more information, see the OneFS SnapshotIQ white paper.
