Hello Brent, Here what looks bad:

FYI - I have subsituted the IP's with 0.0.0. Only the last octet is relevant. MGMT Server: http://pastebin.com/BmHSKB8B Host: http://pastebin.com/E78ebKfV the Gluster volume ideally would be mounted to each host - to eliminate a single IP being used. I'm not sure if that would then constitute as using local storage or not. Please let me know if those logs are not what you're looking for or if you need further information.
