Use nfexpire to set the limits on a directory e.g. to limit to 100G:

nfexpire -d /data -u -s 100G

...or to 1 week:

nfexpire -d /data -u -t 1w

...then nfcapd will "just work"; it reads the ".nfstat" in the target 
directory and applies the limit.

It's advisable to have "nfexpire -r /data" in a daily cron job, in case 
the stats get out of sync.
