Bug Description

Created a virsh pod:

qemu+ssh://<username>@10.0.0.1/system

2 things:

1) storage is reported as GiB (powers of 2, usually used with RAM) in a pod resources tab while the node storage is reported in GB (powers of 10 like the storage quantities are usually reported).

2) The available storage is negative and its absolute value is equal to the storage used (see the screenshot)

On the actual system there's a lot of storage:

root@maas-master:/home/dmitriis/ha-bundle# df -h /var/lib/libvirt/images/
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/Ubuntu-root 2.1T 34G 1.9T 2% /

This is rc3 originally upgraded from maas 2.1 to 2.2rc2 and then to rc3.

Can you provide the output of:

virsh pool-list

Repeat the following for every pool.
virsh pool-info {name-of-pool}

So Nobuto's stats for available disk space seem to be inconsistent as well if you convert to GiB:

echo $((227381595626 / 2**30)) GiB
211 GiB

It looks like his available space is a sum of available space in all pools

Looks like the code only handles GiB, no consideration of TiB of Dmitrii's case.

There's a few problems in all the listings—I'll file separate bugs for the following issues:

 1. cores count can go to subzero if you compose more cores on your VMs than available on the pod (since it's customary to do that, we should probably instead display core utilisation, maybe even in percentages when lower than 1, and possibly like Nx [eg. "2.2x utilisation"] when greater than 1)

 2. local storage will be added up even though it might be using the same backing devices — however, this one can be really hard to solve properly, even if libvirtd gives us enough information (path and local storage), because some of it might still be only known to the system (eg. /var/lib/libvirt/pool1 might be a different mount point than /var/lib/libvirt/pool2). I think this one is not really worth fixing, but I'll file it anyway for reference.

I'd appreciate it if you can test the change up at https://code.launchpad.net/~danilo/maas/virsh-storage-units/+merge/325911 with more than 1TiB storage pod. If not, I'll do it myself, but only later.

Thanks, Dmitrii: that one was against the wrong branch: try https://code.launchpad.net/~danilo/maas/virsh-storage-units/+merge/325913 instead.

You can also apply the following patch using "patch -p1" while inside /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/:

  http://paste.ubuntu.com/24898590/

and then restart rackd. (Revert it after with "patch -p1 -R")
