Actually, it is nearly useless. It just returns an exception that it casts from a HTTP 500.
My quota limit is 1000GB, here I try to make a volume that is 2000GB
g = cinderclient(request).volumes.create(size, display_name=name, display_description=description)
cinderclient connection created using token "e3fbb3c2d94949b0975db11de85bebc5" and url "http://10.145.1.51:8776/v1/9da18fcaedf74eb7b1cf73b67b5b870c"

This is basically useless from an end-user perspective and doesn't allow us to tell users of Horizon anything useful about why this error'd. :( It should probably be a 406, not a 500, and the error message should be "Cannot create a volume of 2000GB because your quota is currently 1000GB." Or something along those lines...
Talked with John about this. This is going to involve quite a bit of change. Need to communicate this more with people before I proceed.
