Status changed from Accepted to In Topic Branch Pending Review


----------------------------------------
Feature #2066: Make units optional
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2066#change-64935

Author: Sam Quigley
Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Ruth Linehan
Category: library
Target version: 2.1.0
Keywords: intern
Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/237
Affected Facter version: 


For memory facts (and maybe other stuff?), Facter currently uses the largest 
unit it can (kb/mb/gb/tb), and only prints two decimal places of accuracy.  On 
some of my systems, this means that the facts reported by facter are slightly 
wrong -- and it also introduces a bit of complexity into any program that wants 
to make use of these facts, since they have to translate back into 
machine-readable units...

It'd be nice if there were an option to make facter report bytes instead...
