But if its an offset then why do specify like this :

 

options             MAXDSIZ=(1024UL*1024*1024)

options             MAXSSIZ=(128UL*1024*1024)
options             DFLDSIZ=(1024UL*1024*1024)

No it does not, it was just an example. The maximum space available is
limited by the amount of SWAP space present.
