Hi,

In the ovirt-engine UI, we use units KB, MB, GB with the meaning of powers
of 1024 bytes, instead of powers of 1000. Some time ago, there was a bug[1]
that has changed some of the GB labels to GiB, but not in all places. This
causes inconsistent messages in the UI, where one part of a sentence uses
GB and the other GiB.

To make it consistent, I have posted patches[2] that change unit labels in
other places as well.

This change touches strings from different parts of the project, so I'm
sending this email to let you know about it. Feel free to check the patches
or comment if the change is correct.

Andrej
