Fixed in Spacewalk.git in commit b59ac75ba462262a33e18a63d1486ef56376af89 Note that I also flipped GB to GiB in commit 061d90567aadd89541764ac8a97068e893113c81, but that is probabaly beyond this BZ.
One more relevant commit in spacewalk master: commit 17655a026da3c251857ed2da575f5b137ee5aee0 731692 - make number formating consistent across all units
Backported to SATELLITE-5.4 as commit e5b7975f84daa7aabae70cbb1679fd9b30ae0c92 731692 - make number formating consistent across all units commit db9953b548d8100386c9614995e21aff5a17f25d if we use 1024 as base, we should use kiB, MiB, GiB commit 0959427713e6ed9664fa99c899f7b6d2197424fa 731692 - correct output of number beyond decimal point in sat-sync
