Bug#1042437: partman-auto-lvm: using binary units for size of volume group does not work correctly

For example, if I choose a volume group of 12 GiB, I get one with 11,9 GB, but it should be roughly 12,9 GB. 1) How do you choose the VG size ? AFAICS, the only possible choice is to restrict the VG use to a given size or percentage. 2) How do you see the VG size ? I tested guided LVM with all in one partition and restrict the VG used size to 12 GiB and I get a root LV of 11.9 GB and a swap LV of 1 GB, so a total use of 12.9 GB as expected. vgs shows 12 GiB used.

Package: partman-auto-lvm Severity: normal With a bookworm 12.0 netinst image: when choosing guided partitioning -> set up LVM, it is now allowed to use binary units for volume group size (MiB, GiB, ...), but the size is wrongly calculated. For example, if I choose a volume group of 12 GiB, I get one with 11,9 GB, but it should be roughly 12,9 GB. Using the manual way of configuring (so not guided partitioning, but manual), it works correctly. Holger -- Holger Wansing PGP-Fingerprint: 496A C6E8 1442 4B34 8508 3529 59F1 87CA 156E B076
