MySQL Bugs: #48516: Cluster docs problems with InitialLogFileGroup and InitialTablespace

Bug #48516	Cluster docs problems with InitialLogFileGroup and InitialTablespace

Description:
The docs appear to be incorrect for InitialLogFileGroup in the following URL:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysql-cluster-ndbd-definition.html

It should be undo_buffer_size in all cases, not undobuffer_size.

Also in InitialTablespace the "logfile_group" option does not work (not sure if this is intentional) and the node will not start when it is used.

Note that using these correctly also appears to cause a crash in a different way during undo log creation.  I will open a separate bug for this.

How to repeat:
Attempt to use the setting examples in the manual.

Crash after correction is bug#48517

Assigned to myself, for obvious reasons. ;)

INFO: See parse_spec() function in src/kernel/blocks/ndbcntr/NdbcntrMain.cpp

a-HA!
