Veritas File System Snapshots

Does anyone have any experience with Veritas File System Snapshots?

I'm noticing that when you create the snapshot, it assumes the characteristics of the original file system (even if the 'snapshot' volume is 10G and the 'live' file system is 40G, the 'snapshot' reports as 40G)

How do you know how much of your snapshot device is being used, and what happens if it hits 100%? I don't want to create snapshot volumes that are as large as the original file systems (that would defeat the purpose) -- but I'm afraid of what might happen if the snapshot runs out of space....

anything you've got that will help with this one would be appreciated!
