See: + +https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=585221 +https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=585222 +https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=585223 + +But a related problem is how to specify sizes to guestfish, ie. "100M" +or "1G". Currently the specific alloc and sparse functions contain +code to parse these size strings, but that cannot be used anywhere +else that would take a byte count. This is awkward because some +commands take units of megabytes (lvresize, sfdiskM) or sectors +(part-add), with no unifying theme. |
