From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Daniel Mierswa Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2009 00:56:30 +0200 Subject: [RFC][PATCH] S.I. and consistent units Message-ID: <4A5A6A1E.1020006@impulze.org> List-Id: To: lvm-devel@redhat.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit A proposed git format-patch for unit consistency in current LVM2. agk already answered on linux-lvm but I just now saw that you're supposed to post patches on lvm-devel so I do it here. >>From my last mail to linux-lvm: The functional changes are as follows: - Users and programs currently checking the output of LVM have to distinguish between either IEC or SI units. Currently LVM prints K, KB and Kilobyte for SI and IEC units depending on what they passed in --units. With the patch applied LVM prints K, KB and Kilobyte for SI units and k, KiB and Kibibyte for IEC units. - Users and programs currently passing LVM the uppercase size suffixes are now telling LVM to treat that value as SI unit whereas now LVM treats lower and uppercase suffixes as IEC (binary based unit). -- Mierswa, Daniel If you still don't like it, that's ok: that's why I'm boss. I simply know better than you do. --- Linus Torvalds, comp.os.linux.advocacy, 1996/07/22 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
