Hi Jeff.

Thanks for the quick response. You can find the output here:

http://pastebin.com/PVzBTSxq

I should note that the mirror pair jc1letgfs17 and 18 were created first, and then the pair jc1letgfs14 and 15 were added using the gluster volume add-brick command below:

gluster volume add-brick pfs-ro1 jc1letgfs14-pfs1:/export/read-only/g01 jc1letgfs15-pfs1:/export/read-only/g01 jc1letgfs14-pfs1:/export/read-only/g02 jc1letgfs15-pfs1:/export/read-only/g02 jc1letgfs14-pfs1:/export/read-only/g03 jc1letgfs15-pfs1:/export/read-only/g03 jc1letgfs14-pfs1:/export/read-only/g04 jc1letgfs15-pfs1:/export/read-only/g04 jc1letgfs14-pfs1:/export/read-only/g05 jc1letgfs15-pfs1:/export/read-only/g05 jc1letgfs14-pfs1:/export/read-only/g06 jc1letgfs15-pfs1:/export/read-only/g06 jc1letgfs14-pfs1:/export/read-only/g07 jc1letgfs15-pfs1:/export/read-only/g07 jc1letgfs14-pfs1:/export/read-only/g08 jc1letgfs15-pfs1:/export/read-only/g08 jc1letgfs14-pfs1:/export/read-only/g09 jc1letgfs15-pfs1:/export/read-only/g09 jc1letgfs14-pfs1:/export/read-only/g10 jc1letgfs15-pfs1:/export/read-only/g10

Thanks,

Can you execute the following command on each of the brick roots?

	 getfattr -d -e hex -n trusted.glusterfs.dht $brick_root

That should give a clearer picture of what the layouts look like, and
what those gaps/overlaps are.  How they happened is a bit of another
story.  I see this kind of thing pretty often, but I know it's because
of some Weird Stuff (tm) I do in CloudFS.  I'm not aware of any bugs
etc. that would cause this in other contexts.
