Description of problem: Use the GUI to create an LV. Select Megabytes and click "Use Remaining Space". The value inserted included two decimal places. Click "OK" to create and get the Error dialog: "Undefined type conversion error in model factory. Unable to complete task." This worked for me in previous versions. It's not necessary to use remaining space to get the error. Any KB/MB/GB value as a decimal will produce the error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-lvm-0.9.8-1.0 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to create an LV with decimal value for KB/MB/GB 2. 3. Actual results: Type conversion error. Expected results: LV created. Additional info:
This is fixed in the upcoming 0.9.9-1.0. The Type Conversion error is now changed to another error handler that gives a much better message if the user types garbage into the Size field.
Verified in system-config-lvm-0.9.9-1.0. If you put garbage in the size field you now get: "There is a problem with the value entered in the Size field. The value should be a numeric value with no alphabetical characters or symbols of any other kind."
