samba - Apr 2005 - differing freespace reports in windows and unix

Hi List.

Environment : 

SunOS jukebox2 5.8 Generic_108528-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100

Samba 2.2.7

Windows NT, XP, 2000 clients.

This is the problem.  I am sharing 4 directories within a samba share. These are
very large file structures, 3 Terabyte plus.  Typically they run between 3 and 9
gb of freespace any given point in time.

For some reason I can't fathom the freespace shown in the client side now
bears no resemblance to the freespace on each of the directories.

It *appears* that the reported freespace matches that of the top level share. 
I've appended the output from df -k for the relavent filesystems and the dir
output from the windows side.  Does anyone have any idea why this might be
happening?  AN I just being dense and missing something obvious?

Thanks,

Dave.

Hi List.

Apologies for follwing up on myself.  A bit of extra info.

Writing to the share via windows seems ok as long as the file size being written
doesnt exceed the apparent available free space.  Writing successfully doesnt
seem to affect the available free space on the windows side although it is
correctly reported on the Solaris side.
