29.8GiByte (binary) = 31 997 506 355.2 Byte  = 31.997 506 355 GByte (SI) 
(nearly 32 000 000 000 Byte = 32 GByte)

There is no 2.2 GB difference... :D You are mixing prefixes... :D GiByte 
!= GByte

See below:

29.8GiByte (binary) = 29.8*1024*1024*1024 = 31 997 506 355.2 Byte
29.8GByte (SI) = 29.8*1000*1000*1000 = 29 800 000 000 Byte

32GiByte (binary) = 32*1024*1024*1024 = 34 359 738 368 Byte
32GByte (SI) = 32*1000*1000*1000 = 32 000 000 000 Byte

31 997 506 400 Byte = 31.997 506 400 GByte (SI)
31 997 506 400 Byte = 29.8000000417232513427734375 GiByte (binary)

32 000 000 000 Byte = 32GByte (SI)
32 000 000 000 Byte = 29.802322387695 GiByte (binary)
