I believe I have found the issue. I changed on my client scripts the "-l"

I don't think Henrik intended this, and it's more than a one-line patch to
make it possible to use disk utilisation displayed in the human-readable form
Maybe we could have the clients report both ways - using the "-P" option for
feeding data into the graphs, checking utilisation against the client config
and so on - and have a different command whose output is displayed on the
disk status ?
It wouldn't be difficult to implement, but my worry is that there might be
a situation where the two sets of data are slightly different (e.g. rounding
errors, or a rapidly growing file between the two measurements) and that
will be confusing.
