• VM disk capacity broken

    It seems like unraid compares the number before the K, M, G, T instead of the actuall calculated size.

     

    Example 1: change capacity from 500GB to 1TB

    1. I first set one vDisk to 500G

    2. Wriiting 1T is not accepted by unRaid

    3. Writing 1024G is accepted, and converts 1024G to 1T

     

    As far as I know, decreasing capacity is not supported by unRaid...but this bug enables it

    Example 2: decrease capacity from 900GB to 500GB

    1. I first set one vDisk to 900G

    2. Tried to set capacity to 500G, but that does not work

    3. Set capacity to 1024G, which i converted to 1T

    4. Set capacity to 500G, works just fine

     

    Also. If you want people to not reduce the size of a vDisk, you should probably not have the calculation visible in the url-field. In Example 3, I could just change the url from "...&oldcap=900G&cap=500G" to "...&oldcap=10G&cap=500G" to bypass the entire system.
