[mrtg] Re: kMG option clarification needed...

[Reed Mohn, Anders]

Haven't tied this myself, but it looks to me like
you have to specify all units from the smallest and up..

Thus for the reference manual example (nanometers) he's
specified:  n,u,m,,k,M,G,T,P  or in words:
nano, micro, milli,,kilo,Mega, etc...

To specify that your basic unit is kbytes, you have to list 
from k and up ...   k,M,G,T,P. (as in the FAQ example)

My guess, anyway.

Cheers,
Anders :)
