Package: fio
Version: 2.16-1
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream
The manpage says:
int SI integer: a whole number, possibly containing a suffix denoting
the base unit of the value. Accepted suffixes are `k', 'M', 'G', 'T', and 'P',
denoting kilo
(1024), mega (1024^2), giga (1024^3), tera (1024^4), and peta
(1024^5) respectively. If prefixed with '0x', the value is assumed to be base
16 (hexadecimal). A
suffix may include a trailing 'b', for instance 'kb' is identical
to 'k'. You can specify a base 10 value by using 'KiB', 'MiB','GiB', etc. This
is useful for
disk drives where values are often given in base 10 values.
Specifying '30GiB' will get you 30*1000^3 bytes. When specifying times the
default suffix meaning
changes, still denoting the base unit of the value, but accepted
suffixes are 'D' (days), 'H' (hours), 'M' (minutes), 'S' Seconds, 'ms' (or
msec) milli seconds,
'us' (or 'usec') micro seconds. Time values without a unit
specify seconds. The suffixes are not case sensitive.
This is just the opposite of what ISQ (ISO/IEC 80000 ; ISO 80000-1) states:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix#Adoption_by_IEC.2C_NIST_and_ISO
So it should use:
10^3 = k (or K) = kilo- = KB = kilobyte
10^6 = M = mega-
10^9 = G = giga-
...etc...
while
2^10 = Ki = kibi- = KiB = kibibyte
2^20 = Mi = mebi- = MiB
2^30 = Gi = gibi- = GiB
...etc...
It is possible that upstream doesn't dare to change and break all the scripts
out there, I have ideas how to
do it but I believe they prefer their own solutions. :-)

Description:
fio - flexible I/O tester
gfio - flexible I/O tester - gui frontend
Closes: 861554 872321 893778
Changes:
fio (3.5-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Imported upstream version 3.5.
* Install systemd service file for running fio as a service, disabled
by default (also see #893778).
* Install sysvinit script for running fio as a service, disabled by
default. Thanks to KatolaZ from Devuan project for helpful hint.
Does not install any symlinks currently (see #894084).
* patches:
- Refreshed.
- fix-ftbfs-with-libmtd.h: Removed. Implemented upstream (also see
#893778).
- makefile-hardening: Allow adding hardening options to CPPFLAGS as
well.
- reproducible-build: Removed. Implemented upstream (also see #893778
and upstream commit 785e49c659023df1735bff195ad4ba133ebd23a7).
- genfio-interpreter: Keep /bin/bash as interpreter, no usrmerge (yet).
* changelog, rules: Removed trailing white spaces as lintian suggests.
* compat: Switched debhelper compat level from 9 to 11 as lintian and
debhelper manpage recommend.
* control:
- Switched Vcs URLs from Alioth to Salsa as I migrated the repo.
- Bumped standards version to 4.1.4. No changes needed.
- Updated build dependency to debhelper version 11 or later.
- Added build dependency for libnuma1 for all architectures, except
armhf and armel, where this library is not available (Closes: #861554,
also see #893778).
- Added build dependencies bison and flex to enable arithmetic
calculations in fio jobs (see #893778, also see fio manpage,
JOB FILE PARAMETERS).
- Added build dependency for the fio GlusterFS engine (see #893778).
- Disable build dependency for libaio for all platforms except Linux,
to enable build on non-Linux platforms like Hurd (see #893778).
- Change binary dependency to python2.7 as all the python scripts use
this version.
* rules:
- Enable verbose build to allow tools like blhc to check for
hardening flags for compiler and linker (see #893778).
- Enable all hardening build flags, not just bindnow.
* docs: Removed tools/fio_latency2csv.py, not in upstream source anymore.
* copyright: Switched copyright format URL to https as Lintian suggests.
* Implemented all suggestions from sitsofe´s Debian patch comments I
decided to implement (Closes: #893778).
* README.Debian: Added a note about fio´s weird usage of units in job
files and parseable output (Closes: #872321).
