[Pacemaker] ordering cloned resources

Sun Mar 9 11:36:03 UTC 2014

So...,

It appears the problem doesn't come from the primitive but for the
cloned resource. If I use the primitive instead of the clone in the
order constraint (thus deleting the clone and the group) , the second
resource of the constraint startup as expected.

Any idea why?

Should I upgrade this pretty old version of pacemaker?
