I haven't tested this yet, because I only have a one node cluster here right
now ;), However, when I try to create a location constraint via the GUI I
can only select the group as a whole, but not the group members. When I
select the group, will then the group members automatically kept on the same
node, whatever happens? This would be just only one constraint.
If so, then I don't really understand what the colocated parameter is good
for, when I set it to false in that case, it would not make sense, and
setting it to "yes", would be redundant.
Then the collocated parameter to a group only makes sense when set to yes,
but I have no preferences, where the group should run.

yeah, would be more or less the same as a location for the whole group, as
above.

but what about the other thing I mentioned, is this then a bug?
with the three resources in the collocated, unordered group. I've seen the
seond and third resource stopping, when I shutdown the second, but the first
still left running. On your explanation in the other mail, I'd expect the
first being shutdown too, which just not happens.
