I checked the guest and there is no limit in the size the guest can allocate.
Also the size currently allocated in the system is far away from being a limit.
We use the value 200000 also in ftpboot and up to now we had no problem.

Of course you are free to increase the value, but I think we should have a look
at the disk of a crashed system.
