I wrote about this issue a few weeks ago, but its started happening again. To summarize, when I try to rebalance a volume I get a strange combination of messages: > $ sudo gluster volume rebalance west start > starting rebalance on volume west has been unsuccessful > $ sudo gluster volume rebalance west status > rebalance not started > $ sudo gluster volume rebalance west stop > stopped rebalance process of volume west > (after rebalancing 0 files totaling 0 bytes) > $ sudo gluster volume rebalance west start > Rebalance on west is already started > $ sudo gluster volume rebalance west status > rebalance stopped And no rebalancing actually occurs. This seems to be intermittent, in that I was able to balance this volume previously. However no amount of uninstalling/reinstalling gluster, stopping/starting the volume, rebooting the machine will cause the issue to go away. I've just upgraded to Gluster 3.2.6 which did not help. Any ideas?
