The freespace checks gives you the free space of the share, the way the OS reports it.
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.

Being able to disk free using volume mount points in Windows 2003
E.G. when you mount a volume as a folder being able to get the free disk space that is for that volume rather than the host drive.
Add a spare hard disk to a computer and mount the volume to a folder rather than a drive letter and then try to get the free disk space for that folder only. Everything seems to only return the space for the drive that holds the folder.
If that makes any sense.
