I beleive there is a bug in "reply" for disk space values. Anything under 9GIGs are reported as XXXXMB and not as XGIG.

Example 9GIGs reply value 9048MB. a GIG = 1047MB.

Any fix for this?

Thanks

Its not a bug. Program displays "1450 Mb" because its more precise than "1 Gb". On the other hand there no big difference between 11.3 Gb and 11.2 Gb, that's why program change unit to Gb after 9 Gb.

That would make sense if the entire reporting is consistent. At present anyting less than 10gigs is reported in four digits (more precise as you put it) and above 10 gigs is reported in 2 digits. Why would make part consistent and not the other?

Ok, what about 2 Gb and 900 Mb? Not consistent again.
Display everything in Gb? In this case some test may show "18 Gb", another 0.003 Gb?
