Disk usage and memory inconsistency in minikube start

[aps831]

minikube version: v1.12.3

The flags for setting disk size and memory have the same usage other than for the default value:

minikube start --help [snipped]
     --disk-size='20000mb': Disk size allocated to the minikube VM (format: <number>[<unit>], where unit = b, k, m or g).   
     --memory='': Amount of RAM to allocate to Kubernetes (format: <number>[<unit>], where unit = b, k, m or g).

Specifying no unit works as expected:

minikube start --driver=virtualbox --memory=8192 --disk-size=8192
[snipped]
Creating virtualbox VM (CPUs=2, Memory=8192MB, Disk=8192MB) ..

Specifying a unit of m works for disk-size only:

minikube start --driver=virtualbox --memory=8192m --disk-size=8192m
[snipped]
Creating virtualbox VM (CPUs=2, Memory=3900MB, Disk=8192MB) ...

Specifying a unit of mb works for disk-size only:

minikube start --driver=virtualbox --memory=8192mb --disk-size=8192mb
[snipped]
Creating virtualbox VM (CPUs=2, Memory=3900MB, Disk=8192MB) ...

@aps831 I'm unable to reproduce this issue, can you try reproduce on minikube 1.13?

[aps831]

Will do.  It will be a couple of days before I get a chance though.

Working on minikube 1.13. Fixed by #9033
