Following is the mail conversation from Nithya to gluster-devel for this issue :

<snip>
The rebalance failure is due to the interaction of the lookup-unhashed changes and rebalance local crawl changes.

    dht/rebalance : Fixed rebalance failure
    
    The rebalance process determines the local subvols for the
    node it is running on and only acts on files in those subvols.
    If a dist-rep or dist-disperse volume is created on 2 nodes by
    dividing the bricks equally across the nodes, one process might
    determine it has no local_subvols.
    
    When trying to update the commit hash, the function attempts to
    lock all local subvols. On the node with no local_subvols the dht
    inode lock operation fails, in turn causing the rebalance to fail.
    
    In a dist-rep volume with 2 nodes, if brick 0 of each replica
    set is on node1 and brick 1 is on node2, node2 will find that it has
    no local subvols.
