For example, when LVM volumes are created, the definition of GB used
for specifying their size is
(1024*1024*1024) bytes.  However, the definition of GB used on the main
partitioning screen is a billion
(1000*1000*1000) bytes.  Thus, a 10.0GB LVM volume will appear
confusingly as 10.6 GB on the main partitioning
screen.  This should be fixed in a future d-i build.

I'm reassigning this bug to partman-lvm.

Thanks by your report.

Bug#437016: d-i inconsistent in definition of GB used

[Tim Hull]

Package: debian-installer
Version: 20070308

During an Etch install, the partitioning step is inconsistent about the
definition of a gigabyte.
For example, when LVM volumes are created, the definition of GB used for
specifying their size is
(1024*1024*1024) bytes.  However, the definition of GB used on the main
partitioning screen is a billion
(1000*1000*1000) bytes.  Thus, a 10.0GB LVM volume will appear confusingly
as 10.6 GB on the main partitioning
screen.  This should be fixed in a future d-i build.
