df reports erroneous disk size/usage on network drives

Tue Nov 17 22:13:00 GMT 2009

I've used cygwin for years, and very happy by the way, and this current 
issue hasn't caused
any problems as far as I can tell. After perusing the FAQ and searching 
I didn't
see other occurrences quite like this.

We just installed a 5.5TB drive server and although cygcheck gets the right
size the drives as reported by "df" are:

$ df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
C:\cygwin\bin        312528508  70974276 241554232  23% /usr/bin
C:\cygwin\lib        312528508  70974276 241554232  23% /usr/lib
C:\cygwin            312528508  70974276 241554232  23% /

w:                    20963324  15771848   5191476  76% /cygdrive/w
x:                   1368856024 -2682801784 -243309488  92% /cygdrive/x
z:                   1368856024 -2682801784 -243309488  92% /cygdrive/z

In looking at other issues, I don't have any of the cygwin offending 
programs like anti-virus
software and our IT guy isn't making use of quotas.

Any ideas?
