Two possibilities - if your client has trouble,
you can use:

   max disk size (G)

which gives the (unbelievable) max disk size which you
can set low for a client unable to read big disks, but
you can keep writing past that size limit (don't know
exactly what happens when you really fill it up, whether
you then finally get a good "disk full" message or waht.  If
the server is offering up the wrong size (how about half
what it should), you might use:

   dfree command

and write a short script that parses the df command and
multiplies by two.  (Left as a simple exercise :)

(descriptions found in "man smb.conf")
