Sorry, I missed (or ignored) the "-m". But representing one byte as
its allocated space (block size) is not what most people think of as
rounding, at least in the decimal sense and likely not in the binary
sense, either. And the increase is not due in any sense to "du"; the
size of a block is related to the filesystem and the storage medium.
So it would be wrong to say that "du rounds up": "du" just reports
what the other parts of the system tell it.
