Ontap 9.2 aggregate inline deduplication visible to volume owners?

Hi,

I was reading quite some docs on the new AID (aggregate inline deduplication) feature in Ontap 9.2 but failed to find out if the space savings would be visible to the volume owners when mounting them via NFS. F.ex. if you provide an iSCSI LUN on a deduplicated volume to a tenant, he will not see the deuplication savings because they will only be at the volume level which he cannot see. For filebased storage, like CIFS or NFS shares, the tenant will immediately see the space savings due to deduplication. Is this also the case for AID or will only the volume footprint shrink on the aggregate level (since all volumes participating in AID need to be thin anyways) but the space usage in the volume will still show the non-deduped size for the tenant?

Thanks,
