samba - Jun 2002 - W2K not registering correct disk space

On a W2K machine, I can easily check the correct hard disk space of my
share.  However, I have a directory on my share which is linked (on the UNIX
side) to another device with more storage.  My problem is that W2K is having
problems checking the disk space over multiple devices.  Has anyone seen
this problem and/or know of any solutions?

The windows client will be requesting disk space from the top
level of the share, which will cause Samba to get the disk
free information on the disk mounted on that directory. It
won't recurse through mounted disks to look for other disks
mounted in sub directories.

If you need t od othis you can write a customer disk free command
(see the "dfree command" parameter in the smb.conf) which could
do this.

Hope this helps,

Jeremy.
