storage minimum size and default size are conflated

[Stuart Bishop]

Juju native storage only allows you to specify a minimum size, which is also used as the default size. The minimum size will generally need to be as small as possible for test installs, which makes it a horrible default for real installs.

I'd like to see a separate default size attribute.

I'd also like a charm to declare 'no default size' and require the operator to explicitly state the desired size at add-storage time. If operators don't have a second chance to get it right, they need to be explicit. For example, failing to specify a large enough partition will cause data migration from local storage to the new partition to fail, breaking the unit and possibly destroying data.

@Stuart,

Unfortunately we will not be able to address this issue for 2.1. I will remove it from the milestone.

Just to paraphrase, this is what you would like to see https://pastebin.canonical.com/179166/ Correct?

@anastasia,

Yes, that seems a better way of phrasing the feature.
