Title:
  Cinderclient Doesn't Return A Useful Error When Trying To Create A
  Volume Larger Than The Quota Allocation

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) icehouse series:
  Fix Released
Status in Python client library for Cinder:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Actually, it is nearly useless. It just returns an exception that it
  casts from a HTTP 500.

  My quota limit is 1000GB, here I try to make a volume that is 2000GB

  g = cinderclient(request).volumes.create(size, display_name=name,
  display_description=description)

  cinderclient connection created using token
  "e3fbb3c2d94949b0975db11de85bebc5" and url
  "http://10.145.1.51:8776/v1/9da18fcaedf74eb7b1cf73b67b5b870c";

  REQ: curl -i

  This is basically useless from an end-user perspective and doesn't
  allow us to tell users of Horizon anything useful about why this
  error'd. :( It should probably be a 406, not a 500, and the error
  message should be "Cannot create a volume of 2000GB because your quota
  is currently 1000GB." Or something along those lines...
