Description:
mysql> CREATE LOGFILE GROUP lg1 ADD UNDOFILE '/space/run/undofile.dat'
INITIAL_SIZE 16M UNDO_BUFFER_SIZE = 1M ENGINE=NDB; ERROR 1502 (HY000): Failed to create UNDOFILE

Error message need to be more descriptive. For Example:
 "ERROR 1502 (HY000): Failed to create UNDOFILE. File already exists! This might be a result of specifying an absolute path in a multi node configuration. "

How to repeat:
see above
