[pve-devel] [PATCH common v3 2/6] fix #3900: schema: prefer sizes with verbose suffixes {K, M, G, T}iB

[Fiona Ebner]

The single-letter suffixes are ambiguous and especially in the context
of disks, the powers of ten are usually used. Proxmox VE uses
multiples of 1024 however. By adapting format_size() to use the verbose
suffixes all newly written or re-written sizes will use the more
verbose/explicit suffix.
