Hello,
     I am working on a VDSM standalone script that is using PosixFS
inteface to mount gluster volume
&  trying to create a volume (file) inside the storage domain.

Snip of the code is below...

==============================================================
sizeGiB = 4

tid = vdsOK(s.createVolume(sdUUID, spUUID, imgUUID, sizeGiB,
                            RAW_FORMAT, PREALLOCATED_VOL, LEAF_VOL,
                            volUUID, "glustervol",
                            BLANK_UUID, BLANK_UUID))['uuid']
waitTask(s, tid)
==============================================================

But the file size created is not 4G, its 8K as seen below...

file format: raw
virtual size: 2.0K (2048 bytes)
disk size: 8.0K

It should have created a raw file of size 4G, but its not.
Wondering if the sizeGiB argument is not in GB but somethign else ?
Isn't this argument actually the number of sectors?

vdsm/storage/fileVolume.py

119     def create(cls, repoPath, sdUUID, imgUUID, size, volFormat,
preallocate,
120                diskType, volUUID, desc, srcImgUUID, srcVolUUID):
121         """
122         Create a new volume with given size or snapshot
123             'size' - in sectors
124             'volFormat' - volume format COW / RAW
125             'preallocate' - Preallocate / Sparse
126             'diskType' - enum (API.Image.DiskTypes)
127             'srcImgUUID' - source image UUID
128             'srcVolUUID' - source volume UUID

Thanks, i realised it after see the 'dd' cmd vdsm invokes to preallocate, 'bs' is not specified, so it defaults to 512 blksize
