I'm afraid I find these names quite idiotic - we all know what the
traditional terms mean so why go and muck with it.

Also, kibibytes sounds like cat food.

Yes, I will cleanup this part, Thanks very much.

Hi, Andrew

While I agree it sounds like cat food, it seemed like a good opportunity 
to fix a minor issue that is otherwise unlikely to be fixed for a very 
long time. Should we feel uncomfortable with the patch, as is, because 
of language/correctness friction? Pedantry included, the patch is 
correct. ;)

Thanks

   Last night, I wrote a very grumpy reply to Andrew. I'm glad I
didn't send it, because Brendan has managed to cover at least one of
my points much more politely than I did.

   My other comment is that TB vs TiB is a 10% difference in the
magnitude of the number, and so the accumulated error is now no longer
small enough to be brushed under the carpet as we all did in days
past. By Andrew's thinking, a 4 TB disk is 3.638 TB in size. I'd say a
4 TB disk is 3.638 TiB in size, and I can be precise (±1GB in the
latter case) with both values.

   Hugo.

PS. Let's just not talk about 1.44 "MB" floppy disks.
