Re: [pbs-devel] [RFC proxmox-backup v3 0/2] more flexible HumanByte type

Re: [pbs-devel] [RFC proxmox-backup v3 0/2] more flexible HumanByte type

Another solution would be to simply use MiB/s as base unit in traffic-control.cfg, and store it as a simple float number.

This is less flexible, but much simpler to implement...

Any thought on that?

[pbs-devel] [RFC proxmox-backup v3 0/2] more flexible HumanByte type

[Dietmar Maurer]

Changes since v2:

 - reverted changes from v2

 - restrict number of possibleunits (always store KB instead of K)
 
 - store size without scaling to unit (avoid rounding errors in
   deserialze/serialze)

 - allow to specify precision in Display

 - new with_unit() constructor

 - improved dev docs

Changes since v1:

- do not expose auto_unit functions
- store size as u64 (suggested by thomas)
- do not store unit (suggested by thomas)

Should there be separate types for byte rates that are represented with 
float + unit, and for byte sizes that are represented with an integer 
internally? After all, 1.2MiB/s "exists", but 1.2MiB does not ;)
