Comment 1 Amar Tumballi 2017-10-11 09:42:04 UTC 
Document URL: 
Size unit should be written as GiB/TiB/MiB (binary prefix) notation.

For example, https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_gluster_storage/3.2/html/administration_guide/sect-limiting_disk_usage

~~~
gluster volume quota data limit-usage /dir 100GB
~~~

The actual implementation is GiB(binary prefix). 

c.f. https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/blob/master/libglusterfs/src/common-utils.h

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Current

How reproducible:
Always

Actual results:
The wrong notation causes unnecessary question to support team or our customers will be confused which unit system is used.

Expected results:
The all size notation should be written as binary prefix because its current implementation.
c.f. http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html

Additional info:
In current, common-utils.h or other section uses binary prefix.
