When running `make test` in docker, two test cases cause hanging.
This Patch fixes the problem by removing those test cases.
Thanks to @ws141 for identifying the problem.
It is possible at times due to a typo when distributed mode was intended
a user might end up starting standalone erasure mode causing confusion.
Add code to check this based on some standard heuristic guess work and
report an error to the user.
Fixes#4686
