Description ricky.tigg 2019-02-07 15:00:12 UTC 
Enhancement request: by default, display digital sizes using a two-decimals fractional accuracy, e.g 1.32 GiB.

Version-Release number of component: util-linux.x86_64 2.32.1-1.fc29 @anaconda

Illustrated by command:

# fdisk -lu /dev/sdc
Disk /dev/sdc: 7.5 GiB, 8006901760 bytes, 15638480 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0xc1a364b8

Comment 1 Karel Zak 2019-02-12 13:31:35 UTC 
I have implemented support for this in upstream tree, but for now it's enabled for fdisk/sfdiks/cfdisk disk summary only.

  https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/commit/39f37044b3146f222cda182494abd4ddb5217335

It looks unreadable in lists (SIZE columns). I'd like to keep the outputs to look like df (and so on).
