NFS is allowed to return a "disk full" error on close - the trouble is that Windows clients won't recognise it. You could try setting "strict allocate = yes" to change when the writes occur from the client NFS redirector - but this is going to be horribly slow. The best thing to do with quota-enabled filesystems is to host them on the Samba box I'm afraid.
