One more consideration that I should have mentioned is that we can also make our file system allocation policies "thin provisioned LUN" friendly.
Basically, we need to try to re-allocate blocks instead of letting the allocations happily progress across the entire block range. This might be the inverse of an SSD friendly allocation policy, but would seem to be fairly trivial to implement :-)
