I double checked the definition of max disk size and came to realize
that max disk size = 0 by default, and with that Samba will report the
actual size of the disk size of the share. I am at a loss as to why
Windows 2K/XP sees only 493MB of the share, which is on a disk of
120GB.

Can someone shed some light on this. Thanks.
