when using "df -h" the output will use the largest unit that doesn't

unit that use 4 or less characters (maybe even 5 if a "." is involved).

I'm struggling to think of a use case that requires 4 digits of precision on a terabyte filesystem. If you need to know the exact size, then get the size in bytes. Otherwise, it's probably close enough.
