I got this using scrub on a 2 TB disk today:

scrub: scrubbing /dev/sdg 2000398934016 bytes (~1TB)

Might be a little *too* approximate...

The easy fix is probably to do a bigger cutoff, i.e. don't cut over
until 10 (so show 2-4 digits); one could also do floating-point numbers
but those wouldn't parse with str2size() which might confuse people...

OK, I did that.  Reasonable.
Fix will be in scrub 2.5.2
