Whats difference between total_savvol_used and ckpt_usage_on_savvol?

I'm curious what the difference is between the total_savvol_used and chkpt_usage_on_savvol when issuing a fs_ckpt -l -all.

Here is output for my filesystem in question.  Is this a problem because savvol_used is 89% or is it not because the chkpt_usage is only 72% and 17% respectively,

---------------------------

id    ckpt_name                creation_time           inuse fullmark   total_savvol_used  ckpt_usage_on_savvol

86    root_rep_ckpt_79_116324_ 02/14/2012-09:55:18-EST   y   90%        89%                72%

87    root_rep_ckpt_79_116324_ 02/14/2012-09:55:25-EST   y   90%        89%                17%

Info 26306752329: The value of ckpt_usage_on_savvol for read-only checkpoints may not be consistent with the total_savvol_used.

id    wckpt_name               inuse fullmark total_savvol_used  base  ckpt_usage_on_savvol

--------------------------

I'm just trying to diagnose a this message which happened twice in march (March 1, 1:06 PM and March 8 1:06 PM)

Deduplication of file system id 79 was aborted after 10 failure(s), 1636845576 KB available on FS.  Last reported error was: SavVolAtCapacity.

as the terms say, total usage of savvol means the overall savvol used for a particular file system

and the ckpt usage on savvol means, the amount of space occupied by a single checkpoint on the savvol

the article emc229138  should help you understand the error message.

I see this all the time when I enable dedupe on a large file system.  It will eventually stop once the dedupe has finished.  From what I have gathered, the dedupe process consumes space in the SAVVOL.  The same savvol that checkpoints are kept in.  So as old checkpoints are dropped off more space is freed up.  For a while I was watching this daily and would start the dedup process again manually (though I forget the command.  Something to do with dedupe -suspend and then a dedupe -resume... something along those lines) once I saw enough free space in the savvol.

Hope this helps shed some light.
