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?

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