Title:
  Corosync/Pacemaker: Error when enabling Pacemaker service,Error when
  starting the cluster

Status in pcs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in pcs source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Low, requires users to change the config pcs just generated for them because the logging paths aren't correct on Debian/Ubuntu.
   * While easy to workaround it its broken by default.

  [Test Case]

  Install Pacemaker packages:
  sudo apt-get install pcs

  Set the password for the default user:
  sudo passwd hacluster

  #To clear files
  sudo pcs cluster destroy

  Enable and start pcsd/pacemaker:
  #this is not needed on yakkety/zesty, why?
  sudo systemctl start pcsd

  sudo pcs cluster auth pacemaker-1 pacemaker-2 -u hacluster -p
  haclusterpassword

  #this is not needed on yakkety/zesty, why?
  sudo systemctl enable pacemaker

  sudo pcs cluster setup --name hacluster pacemaker-1 pacemaker-2
  sudo pcs cluster start
  **FAILS***
  Starting Cluster...
  Job for corosync.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status corosync.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

  Error: unable to start corosync

  (Then to actually bring the cluster up you need to sudo systemctl
  start pacemaker)

  __
  Workaround
  On both nodes, Replace the line:
  logfile: /var/log/cluster/corosync.log
  with
  logfile: /var/log/corosync/corosync.log

  [Regression Potential]

   * Seems unlikely this changes is only in the setup cluster function.  This exact same fix is now in the Debian package, we just make the logging directory the right one.
   * The only potential I see is if someone has scripted creating a cluster using pcs and worked around this bug by making the corosync directory instead of changing the config file.

  [Other Info]

   * This is already fixed in 16.10 and 17.04.
