Hm i never knew linux shows it like that. I do know in windows 1 mb = 1024 bytes. So 31.268.536.320 bytes = 29,121 gb
Yeah I did a little research and came up with this.
In Windows …
Windows assumes that there are 1024 Bytes in a Kilobyte unit, and 1024 Kilobytes in a Megabyte unit etc.
In Ubuntu (GNU/Linux) …
Ubuntu assumes, a 1000 bytes constitute a Kilobyte (KB) unit, 1000 Kilobytes for a Megabyte (MB) and so on.
Windows uses a binary prefix, which technically means they should be listing file sizes in KiB, MiB, GiB.
Ubuntu uses a decimal prefix so they are using the "proper" size listings with KB, MB, GB.
You learn something new everyday.
