Running close to full you will eventually run into fragmentation 
issues.  Fortunately
you can grow the size of a pool while it's hot, get some more LUNs 
allocated and
just do a zpool add.  Highly recommend it until there's a patch to add 
background
defrag for ZFS pools.  You're the first person I've read using iSCSI 
though doesn't
that add a bunch of latency?  And 7200 RPM SATA to boot.
