Description

I'm surprised we still have issues like that and I didn't get a hit while googling so forgive me if there's already a jira about it.

When the master starts it verifies the locations of root and meta before assigning them, if the server is started but not running you'll get this:

I hit that 3-4 times this week while debugging something else. The worst is that when you restart the master it sees that as a failover, but none of the regions are assigned so it takes an eternity to get back fully online.
