[Bug 1924987] [NEW] Storage | Two decimal digits precision

[Ricky Tigg]

Public bug reported:

Tested on: Fedora 34; Component: qemu-img-5.2.0-5.fc34.1.x86_64

Hello. A two decimal digits precision is most appropriated on systems
whose storage capacities have to be saved. That is one of the reason why
such precision is supported in the context of creation of virtual
machines in several Unix/Linux virtualization platforms; virt-manager is
one of them. That last exhibits virtual disks size values with such
precision – 128.00 GiB – nevertheless it lacks yet a mention
illustrating physical disks size values.

Storage values exhibited in qemu-img and virt-manager are already
according to a clear format; thus, values are not attached to their
measure units (#value# #units#).

$ qemu-img info ~/.local/share/libvirt/images/fedora_default.img | sed -n '2,4p'
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 128 GiB (137438953472 bytes)
disk size: 147 MiB
