Shouldn't this have higher importance as quota is also affected? It's easy to exceed quota just by creating volumes of size that is not a multiple of 8 (which is powerflex limitation).

For example, creating 4 volumes of size 4GB volume will increase usage by 16GB. Those volumes will consume 32GBs on backend side while quota usage will reflect just 16GB. Deleting one of those volumes will cause quota to be decreased by 8GB leaving just 8GB of quota usage.

This creates space for end-user to create as many volumes as user wants by leveraging the bug. It makes quota useless for this particular backend, which may not be impacting for the entire project, but is quite a deal for those who use PowerFlex.
