Incorrect volume unit shown with CLI

[Ying Zuo]

When the user uses the Cinder CLI, it's easy to assume the size unit of volume is gigabyte by looking at the property name. The quota-show command below is an example. http://docs.openstack.org/newton/config-reference/block-storage/nested-quota.html

$ cinder quota-show TENANT_ID
+-----------------------+-------+
| Property | Value |
+-----------------------+-------+
| backup_gigabytes | 1000 |
| backups | 10 |
| gigabytes | 1000 |
| gigabytes_lvmdriver-1 | -1 |
| per_volume_gigabytes | -1 |
| snapshots | 10 |
| snapshots_lvmdriver-1 | -1 |
| volumes | 10 |
| volumes_lvmdriver-1 | -1 |
+-----------------------+-------+

However, according to the description of the property on the Cinder API documentation, the unit for volume is actually gibibyte. http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/block-storage/v2/index.html?expanded=show-absolute-limits-detail#limits-limits

To avoid the confusion, the property names for volume size should include gibibytes, not gigabytes.

This has been raised before, but due to backwards compatibilty concerns we will not fix it.
