While being clear is a good thing, I do not think this change is the

this stuff and effectively changing the ABI will break those.

Since we already have non ambiguous reporting in GiB (yes I agree those
iB notions are utterly idiotic), I don't think it adds value to report
the same value in both GiB and KiB on the same line. If anything it
would be better to explicitly mark it as reporting in sectors.

Thanks for the review. I understand your concerns, and I think that adding units to each line is at least an improvement over the current state. I sent a new patch to the list in this thread.

Thanks,
Corey
