Did you try to use group by nodes.contact? I tried you command (only without section > filespace_name like '%\c$' < - it didn't work)
select substr(nodes.contact,1,1) as SERVERTYP,sum (filespaces.capacity),sum (filespaces.capacity*pct_util/100) from nodes,filespaces where nodes.node_name=filespaces.node_name group by nodes.contact gives this report SERVERTYP: Unnamed[2]: 20024.3 Unnamed[3]: 16880.92 Is it OK?
