SR10.2 systems allocate disk space in 1Kb blocks for the
Motorola 68020/68030 machines. The newer 68040 based
HP400 series machines have a slightly different memory
management unit that wants to use 4Kb blocks. If you
directory has lots of small files in the 1 to 2 Kb range,
then the HP400 series machine will wind up allocating
a lot more disk space than the DN3xxx/4xxx machines.
