That 's what I see :
Space used = I believe it is space used by the Sanpshot
Snapshot space = No idea what it means ?
uncommitted space= No idea what it means ?

Also
I cannot tell when was the last time the changes got written to the snapshot...kind of when the file got modified.

Also
to my understanding if there is a snapshot on the VM , means the writing is still occurring on the snapshot
