Disk usage

Question

I am trying to get an understanding of disk usage and how that I can utilize space based on the charts presented. It appears that the savings that are gained from dedupe and compression has to be claimed by other volumes since the savings are not gained on the volume itself according to the server usage graph. You can see from the chart that the server usage shows 2.3TB being used and this is the same as the ingested space before dedupe and compression which gets it down to 1.16 TB. So is the volume space being utilized based on the server usage graph and once the server usage gets to 4 TB will the volume itself be out of space? It also looks like the Raid 10-DM writes do not count toward the used volume space,. I assume this space is using the SC's free space.
