Has anyone ever completely, completely (like with luns and overallocation) filled an aggregate? Were you able to reuse the aggregate again once you reduced the space (presumably by shrinking or deleting a volume or two)? Assume this is not the root aggregate.
Back in the days of traditional volumes being your only option, I think I once did fill a volume. Apart from the serious nose-dive the performance takes when you are even getting near that limit (like 85% of 90%, and the filer starts playing tetris continuously), and the hassle it is to actually free data (with snapshots taking up everything that's deleted), we recovered from that without any issues (if we ever actually came to 100% - i can't recall - performance was bad enough that some action had to be taken anyway).
But as said, that was before aggregates were invented, so YMMV. And NFS-only, no LUNs.
