That last sentence is important! If this is a standard, then it would
seem to be actually intended to deceive the consumer. If there is to be
a standard for 1, 1.5, and 2, they really should have some sensible
relationship in size.
That said, I confess that I use partitions and leave a little breathing
room on my drives when building a raid array.
I think I might take to doing that too, making my partitions/arrays
multiples of 1,000,000,000 bytes (a drive maker's 1GB) where possible,
just to be sure :-)
Cheers,
John.
