Differing units between Windows and darwin

[clovenski]

I took a look at how darwin is getting the disk info, and see that it uses df -P, which I believe outputs in counts of 512 bytes.
Comparing this with what Windows is doing with wmic, I think Windows outputs in plain bytes. This should be properly documented if this is really the case.

For context, I've experienced false positives on darwin in a platform-agnostic app.

Interesting.
I will check that this weekend.
thanks for the report.

i just looked intoo it and you are right.
This is also true for linux.
Should we all base on 512 bytes like linux / darwin or in bytes like windows ?

I feel basing in bytes like Windows feels more natural.
As long as the unit is properly documented and honored on all platforms then either option is fine.
