SI units

SI units

[Helmut Hullen]

Hallo, linux-btrfs,

when I invoke

        btrfs filesystem show

then it shows the size of my Terabyte disks in TiByte but tells "TB".  
It's a difference of about 10% - either there should be a switch like in  
"df" (option -H or --si), or "TB" should be changed to "TiB" (the same  
with GiB, MiB etc.)

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut

   I posted patches[1] to do just that, a few weeks ago.

I've just compiled btrfs from git (20101117) - at least this patch isn't  
included.

  git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-progs-unstable.git

as recommended in

  https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Btrfs_source_repositories

Do I use an antique version?

Viele Gruesse!

   No, that's the latest version, as far as I know. The patches
haven't been picked up and integrated by Chris yet. (In fact, I should
probably send them again).

   In the meantime, I'm afraid you'll have to apply the patches
manually.

   Hugo.

Ok - then all is right on my machine ...

I'll wait some days (or weeks) and hope for integration. That's fast  
enough ...

Viele Gruesse!
