[jira] [Commented] (IO-226) Rounding issue with byteCountToDisplaySize(long size)

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-226?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13612259#comment-13612259 ] 

Mark commented on IO-226:
-------------------------

Rounding is one issue, but the inconsistent precision is another one. Showing "923 bytes" and then just "1 KB" is not ok. It should rather say "round to N chars", ie. "1.1 KB".

> I do not understand the byteCountToDisplaySize(long size) method which is in  class FileUtils of the package org.apache.commons.io.
> If  the parameter size is 2047 , the method will return 1 KB.Why it will lose precision.
> I read the code. 
> Maybe it is a bug?
