more realistic disk size for Ceph primary storage #13289

The required feature described as a wish

On Cloudstack 4.22.1.0 I created a RBD primary storage on a RADOS pool named "cloudstack-ssd".
Ceph reports that the pool used percentage is 5.17 and the maximum available capacity is 2.6 TiB.

# ceph df
--- RAW STORAGE ---
CLASS     SIZE    AVAIL     USED  RAW USED  %RAW USED
hdd     33 TiB   31 TiB  1.3 TiB   1.3 TiB       3.89
ssd    8.7 TiB  8.3 TiB  447 GiB   447 GiB       5.00
TOTAL   41 TiB   40 TiB  1.7 TiB   1.7 TiB       4.12

--- POOLS ---
POOL             ID  PGS   STORED  OBJECTS     USED  %USED  MAX AVAIL
cloudstack-ssd    4   32  169 GiB   48.15k  438 GiB   5.17    2.6 TiB
cloudstack-hdd    5   32  427 GiB  111.94k  1.2 TiB   3.96    9.7 TiB

But Cloudstack reports that "cloudstack-ssd" primary storage size is 42476.68 GB (about 41 TiB), which is Ceph total raw capacity.

I think that the value reported by Cloudstack is misleading.
It's not possible to compute the exact pool size because the raw space is contended between different pools.
But a better option could be that for a RBD storage Cloudstack displays the pool maximum available size and the used percentage (2.6 TiB and 5.17% in my configuration) instead of the total raw Ceph size (41 TiB in my configuration).
