Lindsay,
       You said, you restored it from some backup. How did you do that? 
If you copy the VM image from back up to the location where you deleted 
it from on the brick directly. Then the VM hypervisor still doesn't 
write to the new file that is copied. Basically we need to make the 
mount close old fd that was opened on the VM(now deleted on one of the 
bricks).

I stopped the the VM and the restore creates an image with a new name, so it 
should be fine.
