+    <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>
