I agree that consistency and clarity of units is important in LVM and
any other block device management tool. It's weird to see things
like:
monkey:~# vgs --units G vg_troop0
VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
vg_troop0 1 0 0 wz--n- 750.16G 750.16G
monkey:~# lvcreate --size 700G --name home vg_troop0
Insufficient free extents (178851) in volume group vg_troop0: 179200 required
monkey:~#
FWIW, the section on --units in "man 8 vgs" sounds really good:
--units hsbkmgtHKMGT
All sizes are output in these units: (h)uman-readable,
(s)ectors, (b)ytes, (k)ilobytes, (m)egabytes, (g)igabytes,
(t)erabytes. Capitalise to use multiples of 1000 (S.I.)
instead of 1024. Can also specify custom (u)nits e.g.
--units 3M
If these units were used consistently across the entire lvm2 suite, it
would make the tools more accessible. This may be more of a bug for
upstream, though. i'm not sure.
Thanks for maintaining lvm for debian,
--dkg
