[Lustre-discuss] Getting random "No space left on device (28)"

Sounds like one (or more) of your existing OSTs are out of space.  The 
OSTs are assigned at file creation
time, and Lustre will return an error if you cannot allocate space on 
the OST for a file you are writing.
Do a "df" on your OSS nodes.

Lustre does not re-stripe files; you may have to manually move (cp/rm) 
some files to the new OST
to rebalance the file system.  It is a manual process, but you can use 
"lfs setstripe" for force a specific OST,
and use "lfs getstripe" to see where a file's storage is allocated.
