When you first make a snapshot it uses no space. Every time a block changes in the LUN, the snapshot space goes up by a block. So the required snapshot space depends on the usage pattern.
With BTRFS it's good to maintain about 15% free space, and that's what you started with (with no snapshots). So maybe add another 4 TB drive to the array?

Is there any formula to collect the required space for snapshot depending on the LUN size ???
Hi tarekj,

Thanks for your cooperation!

It depends entirely on what the changes are at the block level how much space snapshots will consume. It could be not a lot, or it could be quite a lot depending on how you use the LUN.
