Switching to KiB, MiB, GiB, ... - Marcel - 01-18-2009 11:59 PM

Hi,

maybe it's a bit overstated but i'm currently asking myself how ispCP calculates MB. MB is not an standardised unit and for an contract with a client its important what the webpackage contains (e.g. 1024 or 953.67 MB).

For a normal client it's overstated but for the administration interface it's important.

we are using 1 MB = 2²⁰ B = 1.048.576 B, if it makes any difference, we can easily use MiB instead. The use of MB instead of MiB is allowed, because the MB are exactly defined in the IEEE Glossary 1084-1986: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?tp=&arnumber=26589&isnumber=1030

If it should be changed in your mind, open up a feature request
