Share Access with Samba?

I have a Windows Drive D: which is only 2 GB. I have shared with my friends. Now I have Linux Free Space of 10 GB. I want to share a 8GB Folder with my Friends. How Can I get it be Shared with the help of Linux Machines.

I assume you'd like to have [public] share browseable/writeable by everyone on the network. Something like:

Code:

[public]

        comment = Public Share

        browsable = yes

        path = /data/pub

        public = yes

        writable = yes

        guest ok = yes

Talking about precise size of the share, you can setup quota but it can be applied only on the partition, not on individual directories, so it would be good to create separate partition, mount it and share the mountpoint.
