> There are (as far as I've encountered) 2 ways to parse a size from String:
> FileSize.parse(final String string, final long defaultValue)
> OptionConverter.toFileSize(final String value, final long defaultValue)
> These two implementations are not consistent with each other:
> FileSize.parse() when passed in a floating point value will silently truncate the floating point portion to the lower long.
> OptionConverter.toFileSize() when passed in a floating point value will log an error to the StatusLogger and return the defaultValue.
> Neither option supports units larger than GB, though multi-TB disks are common.
