Subject: [PATCH 44/53] libparted: only IEC units are treated as exact
If the user specifies start/end of the partition as a unit,
whose size happens to be power of two, we treat that as
exact address with exact placement.
Recently, commit 01900e056ec25083 added an exception for
percent units.
This logic however can fail also for cylinders, e.g. on DASD FBA disks,
which report CHS=(*, 128, 16) geometry, hence once cylinder is 1 MiB.
With cylinders as units, exact placement is not what the user wants.
Instead of adding cylinders to the blacklist, let's instead
whitelist units which should trigger exact placement.
* libparted/unit.c (is_power_of_2): Remove now unused function.
(ped_unit_parse_custom): Specify which units trigger exact placement.
* NEWS (Bug Fixes): Mention this.
(cherry picked from commit f4f38082fc4dbf0c28ccc7613c672fe279d3032e)
