Public bug reported: When creating a new logical volume in system-config-lvm, the user can choose between the following units:
"Extents", "Gigabytes", "Megabytes", "Kilobytes". By "Gigabytes", system-config-lvm actually means gibibytes, and so on for the other units. This is a violation of Ubuntu's unit policy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy What I expected: - Either 10 based units (such as GB) or 2 based units (such as GiB) to be used. - The option of using "Bytes", so I can specify the volume size precisely without any ambiguity.
