Description of problem: from http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html: "However, the value will be rounded up to the nearest kibibyte by libvirt, ..." if rounding indeed is already present in the code path, libvirt could round floating point number equally well as integer. As a result, one could write <memory units="GiB">1.5</memory> instead of <memory units="MiB">1536</memory> for example. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-0.10.2-14.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. change memory in domain xml to <memory units="GiB">1.5</memory> 2. 3. Actual results: libvirt doesn't accept the XML Expected results: libvirt should accept the XML and convert it to <memory unit='KiB'>1572864</memory> (or <memory unit='MiB'>1536</memory> if bug 893933 gets implemented) Additional info:
