CONTAP-718364: FlexCache origin volumes: Aggregate “Total Used” grows due to X-reserves, leading to out-of-space and data unavailability
Issue
- ONTAP clusters with FlexCache origin volumes show aggregate space “Total Used” increasing rapidly while “Total Physical Used” remains comparatively low
- Aggregate can reach full / near-full, triggering out-of-space behavior and potential data unavailability
- Typically observed on systems with *>64 GB memory* running ONTAP 9.16.1 with long uptime after upgrade
