If it's just storing the logs, I doubt it's the cause of the problem. You can
ignore my message. I had too much fun fighting with Gluster recently.

I reread your original full post, and the one thing that stuck out for me was
"the clusters are now replicating from each other". I feel like that could be
a problem. But someone more intimate with the replication might want to input
on that.

Other than that, I wonder if you just have a hardware problem with your
storage.
