[Gluster-users] Ownership changed to root

Agreed.

Both environments were xfs. The only difference is that the original
environment was not using LVM or mdadm -- similar to what I ended up doing
on the second environment in the end. I do plan on testing this out in more
detail soon as I'd like to narrow the issue down further.

Good to know - if anything to say I'm not going crazy  :)

Thanks,
