[comp.sys.sgi] disk space usage

MINUIT%FSU.MFENET@NMFECC.ARPA (01/13/88)

We just got an upgrade from 72 Meg to 170 Meg on our two 3130 machines. We 
were very surprised to find only 110 Meg of usable disk space on our new 
disks. After a little checking, I found that the 72 Meg drives have 59 Meg
of usable space. So, the 72 Meg drives had 82% usable space while the 
170 Meg drives only have 65%. What gives? Is there an alternate way to
format the drive so as to be able to get more usable disk space? Any
comments will be appreciated,
