For large amounts of total data, FreeBSD/amd64's 'systat -if' changes units and appears to report in bits.

I'm pretty sure it's displaying in bits because a) the small "b" is a good hint, and more importantly b) there's no way this host has seen 2600+TB in only 50 days. 362885265282407 bytes (or around 330TB) is a believeable number, however. Fix: I'm not sure, but I think this might have something to do with the stuff around line 123 of src/usr.bin/systat/ifstat.c,v 1.2 2004/03/09 11:57:27 dwmalone Exp The FreeBSD/i386 version doesn't exhibit this behavior, but the counter appears to simply wrap at 4GB anyway. I suspect that's a limitation of the architecture, though. Please let me know if you need additional information. How-To-Repeat: Pass multiple terabytes through an interface. Watch systat's counter.
