<para>This option allows you to put an upper limit
on the apparent size of disks. If you set this option to 100
then all shares will appear to be not larger than 100 MB in
size.</para>
<para>Note that this option does not limit the amount of
data you can put on the disk. In the above case you could still
store much more than 100 MB on the disk, but if a client ever asks
for the amount of free disk space or the total disk size then the
result will be bounded by the amount specified in <parameter moreinfo="none">max
disk size</parameter>.</para>
<para>This option is primarily useful to work around bugs
in some pieces of software that can't handle very large disks,
particularly disks over 1GB in size.</para>
<para>A <parameter moreinfo="none">max disk size</parameter> of 0 means no limit.</para>
<para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">max disk size = 0</command></para>
<para>Example: <command moreinfo="none">max disk size = 1000</command></para>
