Hello
Maybe you are already aware of it, maybe this is something new to you. I've
seen '<min>-<max><unit>' a couple of times in different variations. But it
may not mean what you think it does.
setup-storage parses the values before and after the dash as 2 different
entities. Although to a human reader '10-50GB' is likely to mean '10 to 50
GB', to setup-storage it means '10MiB to 50GB'. If you really want to
specify '10 to 50GB', then it needs to be written as '10GB-50GB'.
(The confusion results from setup-storage treating a unit-less value as
Mebibytes/MiB.)
