The LVM driver is in fact creating volumes in gibibytes (GiB), lvdisplay is showing the volume in GiBs... see http://paste.openstack.org/show/477912/ for details. This means that the API is documented correctly. The cinder client (http://paste.openstack.org/show/477913/) and Horizon should actually have the units corrected from GB to GiB. I would like to post patches to both the cinder client and horizon to remove any confusion on the units that Cinder is using.
** Summary changed: - Cinder API docs incorrectly list the volume size units + Cinder client incorrectly list the volume size units in GB, the API is actually in GiB ** Project changed: openstack-api-site => python-cinderclient ** Also affects: horizon Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
