Hi. Suggestion :ability to choose IEC binary units (power of 2^10, 1024)
option covering all units. Current implementation of such units applies to
one unit at a time. Not a versatile use mode. As model:
(parted) unit iB

Regards.

Thanks for the suggestion but I don't think that's something we're going
to change.
