Indeed. IIRC Lustre does have support for directing files in particular
directories to particular OSTs (or just OST pools?) though, so it might
not be too hard. You'd probably need to do something like run it on a
single client and have it write to a (suitable configured) subdirectory
per OST.
Someone that knows fsprobe might be able to say how feasible that is.
