It seems as though I'm able to reproduce the issue reported here: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-244?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel

yup its a not a close to bug that was fixed in later versions or along with adding some properties in alfresco ., and more over the NanGb is just as good as 0 bytes of data. it made me astonished also at first that what will happen about the size of the repository, then i figured it out through forums and documentation that its a troublesome thing that was fixed later by default or you can do by your own . 🙂
