Disk size on my NT

[Johan Meiring]

I have sucessfully shared out a big drive (7.5GB) without any problems for
a long time to W95 and NT4.  (Was also sharing it out using netatalk, had
to make a mod to netatalk though)  Samba was 1.9.17.  Unfortunately the
linux box is no more, so I can not say what it will do using 1.9.18.
