Decide on units used in memory-related properties

Open marmarek opened this issue 9 years ago • 4 comments

Currently there is a big mess. Some of them uses MB (vm.memory, vm.maxmem), some bytes (host.memory_total). And I think I saw KB somewhere too. I vote for MB everywhere.

Found KB - host.memory_total, despite of comment saying it's in bytes...

:+1: for MB, it is the most commonly understood data measurement size (based on an unofficial poll).

One point to clarify, will that be MB or MiB? In principle I have nothing against any, but I think is important to be precise in the unit symbol. It removes ambiguity.
