Yes, terribly silly. Also, OSes generally express
file size in 1024^n which can be confusing when determining how many files you

Well, right depends on your

You can probably pronounce Ekabytes in whatever way VM Development wants
it pronounced (ask Chuckie). :-)
After a very brief search it seems that the non-VM world (you know: the
great unwashed) uses the term Exabytes rather than Ekabytes.
I'll be delighted to be proven wrong.

I can confirm that eka is a typo in the Planning
