Thank you guys! The -ebi- plague is horrible and needs to be fought!
You could have responded using some of Ted Ts'o arguments and quotations
from #757831.
Or, as in a discussion I once had with an old geezer (now retired) who
couldn't believe someone could come up with an unit as intuitive as MiB:
MiB means "million bytes" as opposed to MB at 1048576, right?
