Apparently, the original size ($size) is in kiB, so the question would
rather be whether it makes much sense to recalculate the size in a
different unit if it is only going to be used for a machine-to-machine
interface.
The most efficient way would be to just pass the original size in kiB to
drbdmanage, because drbdmanage also uses kiB internally, so if a value
in any other unit is passed to drbdmanage, it is recalculated in kiB anyway.
If the size is a number that is not a round number in MiB or GiB, and
you would like to pass in round numbers, I would suggest to just align
the kiB value, e.g.
int alignment = 1 << 20;
if (size % alignment != 0)
{
size = (size / alignment + 1) * alignment;
}
(good luck translating it to Perl ;)

The actual size that is allocated by drbdmanage on the backend storage
will almost never be a multiple of a MiB or GiB, because the size of
volumes is specified as a net value, while the backend storage will have
to be slightly larger to provide space for DRBD meta data.
