Older firmware versions suffered from performance problems when storage pools are beyond some usage (80%).  This is no longer the case, with all supported current Appliance Firmware releases.

There is now no such threshold, such that we will be missing space on disk and having write failures in the first place when the pool becomes full.

We will no longer experience degraded I/O performance, when performing write operations, but get IO errors and conclude that some clean up is needed in order to empty on-disk space for new data.
