From 5556b5fe41173107a67dbe875fbd916a46e52a02 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lennart Poettering Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2014 03:13:54 +0100 Subject: core: clean up some confusing regarding SI decimal and IEC binary suffixes for sizes According to Wikipedia it is customary to specify hardware metrics and transfer speeds to the basis 1000 (SI decimal), while software metrics and physical volatile memory (RAM) sizes to the basis 1024 (IEC binary). So far we specified everything in IEC, let's fix that and be more true to what's otherwise customary. Since we don't want to parse "Mi" instead of "M" we document each time what the context used is. --- man/systemd.resource-control.xml | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'man/systemd.resource-control.xml') diff --git a/man/systemd.resource-control.xml b/man/systemd.resource-control.xml index 0ee983b1c3..e923b6da86 100644 --- a/man/systemd.resource-control.xml +++ b/man/systemd.resource-control.xml @@ -226,14 +226,15 @@ along with systemd; If not, see . case the backing block device of the file system of the file is used.
