Hi David, Thanks for the quick reply. I'd actually stumbled across the thread earlier this morning, and it got me thinking about "strict allocate"
As soon as I set "strict allocate = yes", Windows began reporting "not enough space" instead of "disk full". Also, looking at the properties of a share now shows the total and free space remaining under a user's quota, rather than the actual space of the share. So I'd say that takes care of it for me, and without rebuilding my Samba packages.
