964	show sizes in unambiguous way that doesn't get mistaken for different units	USSJoin	zooko	When setting up a storage node, it took me a long time to figure out why the storage wasn't respecting my set 15GB of reserved space on the drive. I finally realized that *like* hard drive manufacturers but *unlike* the rest of the planet, Tahoe is counting size in base-10, not base-2-- so kilobytes are 1000 bytes, not 1024, and so on. This leads to reports from Tahoe being *dramatically* different than, say, `df -h`, and thus creates confusion.	defect	assigned	minor	undecided	code-storage	1.6.0		usability
