Why don't my reported file and storage sizes match the sizes reported on my storage platform or an online converter such as Google?
DryvIQ stores file sizes in base-2 quantities. However, these values are displayed with base-10, or SI (International System of Units), prefixes (for example, megabytes and gigabytes). Those prefixes are used since most users are familiar with that notation. Because of the risk of confusing the user with the lesser known base-2 notation (for example, mebibytes or gibibytes), we chose to display base-10 notation. See the screenshot on the right for an example.
When using a conversion tool such as searching "808884388 bytes to MB" in Google, be sure to either specify "MiB" (mebibytes) in the search string or change the resulting units to an appropriate base-2 unit of measure.
I'm seeing "No such host is known" errors in the job log, but I know the platform is accessible from the machine on which DryvIQ is installed. Why am I seeing this and how can I fix it?
