If you are creating files that are a significant fraction of the free
space on your OSTs, you _should_ stripe
them across multiple OSTs (lfs setstripe).
Also note that ENOSPC is likely to be returned before the OST is
actually "out" of space: due to the
OST pre-granting space to the clients, ENO

Hi,
My Lustre system has 7 OSTs on 3 OSSs. 2 of the OSTs have less then 200Gb
free while the other 5
have 3+ TB free.
I am not using striping. Question, when creating a new file does Lustre try to
write to the OST
with the most free space? If not, how does it choose which OST to write to?
