[DRBD-user] linstor-proxmox v7.0.0-rc.1

[Dori Seliškar]

Hi Roland,

Showing cluster wide storage usage/calculation is great. However on my 
test cluster used/free space in Datacenter->Summary is ... well - 
strange. Shows very different values than under node view and the values 
sometimes change after a few seconds. Even when they stabilize they are 
wrong either used is low and free is correct or vice versa. Very 
strange. In node view all is fine. I have PVE and Linstor updated to the 
latest.

Best regards,
ds
