By having the smb server "inline" symlinks in this way, I'm not surprised the lower-level filesystem utils misreport the free space. The kernel is lying somewhat about the "data" directory entry on the client. (Open question) Should the reported free space be the combination of both/all server partitions, and how should df discover them?
