Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 443581
Use human readable sizing units
Last modified: 2009-08-26 22:15:47 EDT
Description of problem: The create / resize lvm dialogs show the number of extents by default. The number of people who understand what that means - and can work out what size that might actually mean wouldn't be that big. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-lvm-1.1.4-1.0.fc9.noarch {and one in f8}. How reproducible: yes. Steps to Reproduce: 1. sy-co-lvm 2. create a new lv, or resize and existing. Actual results: Dialog defaults to the unit of extents. Expected results: Dialog defaults to the unit of Gigbytes, at least until we all have TB disks ;-) Additional info: The only reason I could see to default to extents is for assessing technical performance - but this is a user {admin} dialog.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This still needs doing. Should be part of S-c-tools cleanup.
Changed from extends to gigabytes
