samba - Feb 2013 - fail to display xfs quotas instead of smbcquotas on Win clients

Hi

Samba 3.6.3 on Ubuntu.
Filesystem is xfs, grpquota and usrquota are enabled.
root at host:# repquota /mntpoint displays the correct data (see below).
In smb.conf I defined max protocol = SMB2.

When running smbcquotas //host/share -L I'm getting displayed a value of
16GB for every user share. This is the value that is displayed on the
windows 7 boxes when looking at the network shares in Start -> Computer.
However, I'd like to see there the real file system quotas instead of the
smbcquotas. Is there a way how to do that?

Thanks for any hints and pointers.

Philipp



smbquotas output on CLI and displayed on Windows 7:
root at host:/etc/samba# smbcquotas //host/share -k -A password.txt -L
user1      :         1342464/    17179869184/    21474836480
user2      :              3072/    17179869184/    21474836480
user3      :         3566592/    17179869184/    21474836480
...
userN           :               0/    17179869184/    21474836480

repquota output as seen on CLI but not displayed on Windows 7:

Have a look at the "get quota command" option.  It might be what
you're looking for, or it might be a workaround anyway.

this should have been fixed since a while but Ubuntu has a quite outdated
version that doesn't have those fixes. Try the recent 3.6 packages from
enterprisesamba.org for Ubuntu instead - they will work better for you I guess.
The smb quota command may work as a work around but will put a lot more load on
your system.
