    Description

      We should review how the server defines data sizes, like "gigabyte." Is it the power-of-ten or power-of-two size? Currently, the documentation uses SI power-of-ten prefixes throughout.

      If the server does use power-of-two sizes, we should sweep through all of the docs to use the proper IEC binary prefixes to be as accurate as possible.

      It may also help to clarify what the actual sizes are, in unprefixed byte counts, in some appendix page.
