Crm configure commit fails with python stack trace

[David Henningsson]

Binary package hint: pacemaker

I'm trying to setup a cluster with Ubuntu Karmic and pacemaker-openais. Perhaps I'm missing some essential component or configuration, but then I would expect a more helpful error message.

$ sudo crm configure
crm(live)configure# property no-quorum-policy= ignore
crm(live)configure# property stonith-enabled= false
crm(live)configure# commit

Found it! It is a real gotcha. There can't be a space between "property stonith-enabled=" and "false". However, if you use tab completion, it automatically inserts one for you!

[Ante Karamatić (ivoks)]

This is fixed in Lucid. No space is added during tab cmpletion.
