If the OS reports this wrong how should we then report it correctly?
If you would create a share on c:\newspace would that show the 40 gig free
(OS level)?  If so then I think that SA should also show it.  Never tried it
to be honest....

He's not referring to a share, but a mount point.

In this case the OS reports it wrong also.

I.e. if I have C:\ and it has 1 gig free, and I add physical drive to the 
computer (say 40gig) and mount it to C:\newspace, a DIR C:\ will still only 
show 1 gig free, but a dir of C:\newspace will show 40 gig free.  (at least 
if done from the OS level.)

It's annoying, to say the least.
