1. create a 4x2 dist-rep volume
2. create 10k files under a directory
3. while step 2 is in progress, add 4 more bricks
4. start rebalance process
5. start renaming of files
6. kill on of the brick process

Actual results:
On the brick logs of new bricks that were added, lot of error messages are seen.

Expected results:
