Bug Description
When creating a new logical volume in system-config-lvm, the user can choose between the following units:
"Extents", "Gigabytes", "Megabytes", "Kilobytes".
By "Gigabytes", system-config-lvm actually means gibibytes, and so on for the other units.
This is a violation of Ubuntu's unit policy:

What I expected:
- Either 10 based units (such as GB) or 2 based units (such as GiB) to be used.
- The option of using "Bytes", so I can specify the volume size precisely without any ambiguity.

Thank you for your report. Are you concerned only with the shorthands or are you suggesting that when spelt out Gibibyte be used instead of Gigabyte?
