If I understand right when you use 'setstripe -c -1' lustre will try to evenly spread the data of a file over all OST's.
Because one of yours gets full, the file can nolonger be added to. Lustre does not fall back to using fewer stripes as most users say 'use more stripes' for a reason. Lustre should not ignore this (and doesn't). I don't know how you would work around a this, A "use every stripe you can till its out of space" I don't think exists.
