In which case I would try using the dfree option in the smb.conf and
then having it call a shell script that wrote it's inputs to a log file
and see if there are any differences between macOS and Windows.

If they are the same you could fall back to my old hack and investigate
what the changes where to vfs_gpfs. If they are different then the
assumptions that vfs_gpfs is making are obviously incorrect.

Finally you should test it against an actual Windows server. From
memory if you have a quota it reports the quota size as the disk size.
