You can set the "dfree command" per share, but for use with the home shares it would need some more configuration. > I thought about using "homes" instead of plain shares, but I'm not sure > if that would help me in any way. Yes, this is the problem, you should use "homes". I think the "get quota command" option is what you are looking for. It's a global option that specifies a custom script which receives amongst others information about the directory (e.g. /home) and a specific user/group. In this script you can use system tools to determine the needed values (e.g. free/used space). Please refer to the smb.conf man page for more information about the get quota command. Probably you'll find such a script for you system by searching for "get quota command" and your quota system.
