Description of problem:
=======================
created a 1x(4+2) volume and pumped data of about 70GB with following options
Options Reconfigured:
server.event-threads: 4
client.event-threads: 4
performance.client-io-threads: on
performance.readdir-ahead: on

Added another 4+2 distribute subvol and triggered rebalance

While the rebalance was happening(it showed completed on all other nodes while the localhost showed as inprogress), I triggered a rebalance stop==>stopped immediately.

I then immediately triggered rebalance start again, which said as below
[root@dhcp35-179 glusterfs]# gluster v rebal  ecvol42-clientio start
volume rebalance: ecvol42-clientio: failed: Rebalance on ecvol42-clientio is already started
[root@dhcp35-179 glusterfs]# gluster v info ecvol42-clientio

However , the rebalance status doesnt show any change

However, if i wait for some time say 5-10 min, then i am able to retrigger successfully.
