thank you. Hmm. I learned about vfs_btrfs now and set up a test share 
using this module. Doesn't change the display of free space in windows.

I set a btrfs quota of 2GB on the shell, but there are still terabytes 
of free space visible in windows explorer. That is a bit problematic in 
our case, we want to limit usage and it would be confusing to display 
terabytes of free space but users hit some "invisible" barrier when 
putting files there.
