Did you shut down the cluster properly? Meaning that shadowset was
correctly dismounted by the shutdown procedure?

Do you have minicopy/minimerge enabled?


Or did you say the two shadowsets were mounted on the first two nodes, with one
member per shadowset, and the third node added a disk to each of two shadowsets
but there was no copy?  Again do you have minicopy?
