And I agree it was probably an oversight by the original storage devs,
using powers of 2 instead of 10, since physical hardware doesn't work that
way, but its a bit too late to change now. Its just looks a tad generous I
guess.

I didn't put this in the ticket, but - historically - when one talks about
1 GB in the persistent-storage world, one means 1,000,000,000 bytes (as
opposed to memory, where 1 GB means 1,073,741,824 bytes).
Some systems try to clarify this by using, for example, GB versus GiB.

Oh, by the way, that code documentation is still in my sandbox (i.e. not
committed). I am working on updating the resize-volume logic for 4.5.
Hopefully I'll have it checked in sometime next week.

OK, so, I did a couple things:
1) I documented the code in the resize-volume area (there were two places
that I saw) where we bit shift to convert from GB to bytes.
2) I created: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-7101
The ticket will probably have to wait until a major release bec
Mike - Would you mind creating a bug for it or better still adding a
comment in the code as a //TODO - standardize it if you can't fix it ?
I guess currently dev writing new code doesn't have a good reference
whether to take it as bytes or in GB. That¹s why you are seeing both
varieties.
Thanks,

Sure, that makes sense - thanks.
It's too bad we don't really have a standard for our API in terms of how
volume sizes are referenced. It seems sometimes we use bytes while other
times we use GB. I was thinking the units were bytes here, but they are GB.

Probably converting from GB to bytes ? I recall doing that for creating
volumes from custom disk offering.
