documented the "max disk size" option.
I'm sure I've done this before, we must have lost some patches a while ago? (This used to be commit 0c96ac512fe1f9baf35a8c1c0eb83e001ffb54df)

+.SS max disk size (G)
+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.

+Note that this option does not limit the amount of data you can put on

+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

+This option is primarily useful to work around bugs in some pieces of

+1GB in size.
