Brandon, That property does not indicate how much disk space can be used by the archive, but rather how much disk space is allowed to be used before data in the archive is destroyed.
So, for example, if that property is set to 80%, and the disk reaches 80% full, the oldest entries in the archive will start getting deleted, even if the content repository and the archive use only say 5% of the disk space. It is a way to indicate that you'd like to archive, but you don't want to take any chance on the archiving filling up the disk space. Does that make sense?
