Description
Now we have a timeshift buffer size in hours. It would be nice to have a setting for maximum physical size for the buffer storage. Like that we could reserve an amount in bytes which will not grow any further, assuring more control over a limited storage.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing timeshift buffer-size setting and the code that manages buffer storage. Determine how a maximum physical size in bytes should interact with the current hour-based limit, then verify that the buffer cannot grow beyond the configured amount.
