We had similar problems with early versions of 3.2.2 code (pretty much the release code), 300giB volume reserving 16TiB
After the array crashed badly HPE put some patches on, told us not to use de-dupe and tunevv'd everything to a new CPG, and I never saw the issue again.
What code level are you on ?
3.2.2.709 (MU6)+P99,P115,P119,P126
This is basically what HPE were telling us, minus the patch installations. They basically told us to tune everything to a new CPG and not use de-dupe (as we were only seeing a saving of 1.1).
The problem is that we have a lot of important files on this SAN and we're trying to move as much as we can in order to tune everything away from de-dupe. This would require a large amount of free space, unfortunately.
I really wish HPE would provide us with a better solution that didn't involve down-time or spending more money on storage when we don't need that extra storage.
