Hi lists,
Currently the ceph status output formats all numbers with binary unit prefixes,
i.e. 1MB equals 1048576 bytes and an object count of 1M equals 1048576 objects.
I received a bug report from a user that printing object counts with a base 2
multiplier is confusing (I agree) so I opened a bug and
https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/19117.
In the PR discussion a couple of questions arose that I'd like to get some
opinions on:
- Should we print binary unit prefixes (MiB, GiB, ...) since that would be
technically correct?
- Should counters (like object counts) be formatted with a base 10 multiplier or
a multiplier woth base 2?
My proposal would be to both use binary unit prefixes and use base 10
multipliers for counters. I think this aligns with user expectations as well as
the relevant standard(s?).
Best,
Jan
