"100M" +or "1G". Currently the specific alloc and sparse functions contain +code to parse these size strings, but that cannot be used anywhere +else that would take a byte count. This is awkward because some +commands take units of megabytes (lvresize, sfdiskM) or sectors +(part-add), with no unifying theme. -- 1.8.3.1
