Hi,

By example,

$ df --human-readable /dev/sdb2
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb2        82G   66G   12G  86% /home
$ df --si /dev/sdb2
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb2        88G   71G   13G  86% /home

In both cases, the output unit presented is G(iB) whereas a
power-of-1000 unit (GB) was requested in the latter invocation.
