To the best of my knowledge, Filling volumes are subject to reclamation just as much as Full volumes are: it's just a matter of the combined size of the "holes" in the volume's thus-far-written area. Remember that there's no guarantee that you will never have more than one Filling volume for a given stgpool: multiple processes may cause there to be multiple volumes in Filling state. This can eventually cause a Filling volume to be just hanging around, unused for a long time; and the Filling volume could be 98% written. You want such stuff reclaimed.
