Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Cálestyo (calestyo) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: document the base of binary units and support/use SI bases Initial Comment: Hi. Currently the base of binary units in most (all?) plugins, e.g. check_disk which use them seems to be 1024. This is though usually not documented, which makes the whole thing ambigous. Please support SI units and use the correct units: First that means that things like kB, MB or --megabytes of e.g. check_disk should no longer use the incorrect basis 1024. k is always 1000, etc. pp. The IEC standardised the use of e.g. KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB as units with the basis 1024.
