Where is 2Gi a documented standard, other than IBM-Main?
Yes. This is official (documented standard) way of naming "binary
prefixes". However it's rarely used.
For example - IBM mainframe documentation widely use "the old way", that
mean no MiB, GiB, or KiB can be observed.
This is as pedantic as the 'true meaning' of USS.
No. "Meaning of USS" is idee fixe of one or two guys on this forum. It
is NOT a standard.
USS is widely used as Unix System Services even by IBM. Sometimes
mentioned "IBM official acronym" is NOT documented for public - there
are no such "list of official IBM acronyms" available.
Last, but not least: acronym is a matter of English language, not an
asset of any company. And it's natural feature of acronym to be
overloaded (to have more than 1 meaning).
To me, 2048M is 2G, and when it's on disk, 2000M is 2G.
And for most IT-specialists too, including IBM mainframe.
That was the distinction taught in University in the 1970's.
This isn't good argument. Times are a changing. You probably were not
taught about EURO currency or 64-bit JAVA.
