I know linux basics but not an expert. IT guy left the job here and there is some time before new hire. So sorry if question is very basic.

We have local testing server based on Open SUSE 12.1, which also act as shared drive between dev/mgmt team here and using Samba for that.

Now we are running out of space on samba, even though server's 2*1TB harddisk is nearly 90% free. My question is, what is limiting Samba and how can I increase its limit? We need around at least 500 GB as shared drive but currently its just 25 GB.

I don't need step by step answer, just a link to any helpful article would be sufficient. Probably I'm putting wrong keywords in google so not getting any helpful link.
