Gb confused with GB

GIDDION · June 30, 2015, 6:19am

Throughout the UI there is confusion about Gb (Gigabit) and GB (GigaByte).

please do a search and replace to fix this.

From GIDDION in forum "Throughout the UI there is confusion about Gb (Gigabit) a…nd GB (GigaByte). Please do a search and replace to fix this." This is a very good point, we deal almost exclusively in B (Bytes) not b (bits); only really the network readout might use Gb (Giga bit), Mb (Mega bit). Just had a look over and the following are at question: Items to change:- Dashboard:- - "Top Shares by Usage" - "Total Capacity, Allocation and Usage" Storage:- - Disks - Capacity column - Pools - Size column - Pools - Create Pool - Capacity column - Pools - Usage column (N.B. we have a Mb that should be MB here as well) - Shares - Size column - Shares - Usage column (N.B. we also have Kb instead of KB here) - Snapshots - Total size (I have a bunch of 0.00 Pb which if anything should also be PB) - Snapshots - Exclusive Size (again with the 0.00 Pb) This last Snapshot measurement is also a little strange with it defaulting to the high end ie PB not MB But we do seem to be adhering to SI guidelines re a space between the numeric and the Unit.

I am seeing it (almost) everywhere now.
There is loads of UI work going on right now so hopefully it can sorted soon, I have linked back to this thread so it should be updated upon a resolution.
