[Samba] Free space/capacity displayed as garbage...

Hi,

Thanks for the reponse.
I tried it, but that's not the correct solution. I've set it to 10 GB and then it always says that there is 10 GB free, even if
there is only 2 GB free. At least, it doesn't display as garbage anymore, but it's not correct.


Regards,
Marc
