Tomasz, Glusterd version 3.2.6 doesn't handle concurrently issued volume commands 'gracefully'. It is known to end up in situations like the one you have described below. This was fixed in the early days of what we informally refer to as the 3.3.0. [Ref: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=GLUSTER-3320]
Having said that, gluster cli's operation/commands semantics permits only one volume command (like create, start, stop etc) run on the cluster (storage pool). Even with the fix for the bug referred above (in master), when two gluster commands are issued in parallel, both of them _may_ fail. The fix ensures that you don't get into any 'breakages'. It is as though the commands 'collided' and both aborted themselves.
