Package: partman-auto-lvm
Severity: normal


With a bookworm 12.0 netinst image:
when choosing guided partitioning -> set up LVM, it is now allowed to use
binary units for volume group size (MiB, GiB, ...), but the size is wrongly
calculated.
For example, if I choose a volume group of 12 GiB, I get one with 11,9 GB, but 
it should be roughly 12,9 GB.

Using the manual way of configuring (so not guided partitioning, but manual),
it works correctly.

Yes, I use that dialog.

It is displayed in the next dialog (partition overview screen).

I wasn't aware of that concept, that the value I enter gets divided into
several volume groups (here: root and swap).
But that of course makes sense. 
(I don't use LVM usually, so no experience with it; I just did a test 
regarding to bug#684128 "src:debian-installer: allow use of binary units in
disk partitioner").


Sorry for the noise, my fault.
Closing this bug
