Should we feel uncomfortable with the patch, as is, because of language/correctness friction? Pedantry included, the patch is correct. ;) 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.
