First, let's get a little information
Could you give us the output of the following commands.
(I am assuming your problem aggregate is aggr0)
aggr status -v aggr0 df -hA aggr0 snap list -A aggr0 aggr show_space aggr0
Next, can we narrow down the growth to a single volume or group of volumes?
How about providing a df -h for each volume and also a snap list <volume> for any volumes using excessive snapshot space.

Hi all,
In the last 36 hours or so we have a 19Tb aggregate that is growing above 18Tb used. Usually the aggregate used level only grows if we grow its volumes. This is different - I was forced to delete snapshots and shrink volumes to get it back under 90%. And in the last 3 hours its back above 91% - used level is climbing 5-10g/minute
I so far can not see where the growth is coming from, Aggr snapshot is OFF

thanks for any tips!
