Description:
if you follow the procedure in the documentation to set-up cluster replication it does not work if there is NO traffic on the cluster.

How to repeat:
follow these steps:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysql-cluster-replication-backups.html

step number 7 only gives a log file and log pos if there was any traffic on the cluster during the procedure.

if there is no traffic you need the values from show master status...

Suggested fix:
I do not know if this is a bug in the docu (--> fix the docu) or a bug in the cluster replication (--> fix the replication). depends on the specification of the feature!

Verified. I'd say it is a documentation issue 'only', but it is a valid issue nonetheless ...

Following email from Oli asking me about this issue, I've changed the Category to Docs and assigned to myself.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website shortly, and will be included in the next release of the relevant products.
