Hello,

I have added a Red Hat 6 server to our Windows network to be a file server
using Samba. I have created several shares, but from the Windows clients
each share shows that its max size is 197MB, with 70MB used and 127MB free.

I do not have quotas enabled in Linux, and I have MAX DISK SIZE = 0 in Samba
config.

How can I get a much larger limit on these shares? Any and all help is
greatly appreciated.

Joe
