did not really check all of it, but 
+               {" Exabyte",  " EiB", "e"},
+               {" Petabyte", " PiB", "p"},
+               {" Terabyte", " TiB", "t"},
+               {" Gigabyte", " GiB", "g"},
+               {" Megabyte", " MiB", "m"},
+               {" Kilobyte", " KiB", "k"},
these units should be named
Exbibyte
Pebibyte
Tebibyte
Gibibyte
Mebibyte
Kibibyte
