A write from the client on that file (vm image) could have succeeded 
only on vm04 even before you brought it down.

If you did not do anything from the previous run other than to bring the 
node up and things worked, then the file is not in split-brain. Split 
braine'd files need to be resolved before they can be accessed again, 
which apparently did not happen in your case.
