I have a diskette question. The diskettes are supposed to be 880k diskettes but when I say 'info' it says my diskettes are 837k. Is this normal? Dean Cromack

| 2307.1 | maybe .info files | MAMIE::LEIMBERGER | Thu Mar 02 1989 08:30 | 2 | |
I,m not sure but it may have something to do with the .info files
for the disk,trashcan etc.

| 2307.2 | file system overhead | SAUTER::SAUTER | John Sauter | Thu Mar 02 1989 09:41 | 8 |
I think INFO is taking into account the fact that the floppy's file
system doesn't put 512 bytes of user data in each sector. Some of the
512 bytes are taken to support the file system.
Until 1.3, that same file system was also used for hard disks. As of
1.3, you have the option of using FFS, which puts 512 bytes of user
data in a 512-byte sector.
