Can you please describe what command you are using for testing. Lustre is already using round-robin OST allocation by default, so the second job should use the next set of 36 OSTs, unless the file layout has been specified e.g. to start on OST0000 or the space usage of the OSTs is very imbalanced (more than 17% of the remaining free space).
