hi,

there were a lot of posts regarding file system size of a share and mac osx. some users had to limit the virtual filesystem size to <2TB with "max disk size" parameter to be able to write to a huge (>2TB) share.

just my 2cents

We are putting into production a new samba server(s) with a combined
storage pool of several TB's of space.

One of the problems we encountered was that OS X ( 10.4.5 ) reported
free space incorrectly on very large values ( 650gb in our case ).  It
would report the free space as doubled for no apparent reason (
probably because it presumes values over a specific amount are 2k
blocks rather than 1k ).  We were able to overcome the problem by
stating a block size for the share larger than 1024.  In our case we
used "block size = 8192" and the problems went away(tm).

I wanted to post this information so that others with this problem, or
similar problems would have a place to start looking.
