ddsnap/zumastor cachesize option not well documented #155

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Curiosity causes you to try setting a larger cachesize
2. You look at the zumastor/ddsnap output about -k (cachesize), it 
doesn't mention units. You check the manpages, no units. You read the 
manpages more, and eventually find something in an example embedded in 
text.
3. You notice you can specify a unit on the fly, eg 100k or 100M. You get 
ambitious and try 10G, it fails.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Success expected with less effort.
- Manpages/output from binaries could be more helpful
- ddsnap should understand gigabytes not just megabytes
