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? Thanks so much,

repeating myself.
Installing the rdma package solved this problem. I don't know if
there's an issue with the non-rdma deb or what; it must be some
combination issue between my Ubuntu server and the non-rdma deb.
One I reinstalled, rebalancing started working.
I should mention that this is all on an Amazon EC2 instance - I
started with the stock Ubuntu AMI listed on alestic.com, and only
installed gluster and its dependencies. Maybe something to do with the
Amazon instance.
Thanks again for everyone's help on this.

Ah, no I didn't. Because I planned on using only TCP. Should I retry
reinstalling with the rdma .deb?
Only if you're going to use ib/rdma.
