We have EMC NS40 server as a NAS-server and it has a feature where the  
reported share size is the same as user quota. Therefore this line  
actually tells us in our system what is the user quota and disk usage.  
And each users home directory is a separate share. Each user can  
access their home directory as a with a share name "Home".

Is the samba default that it always reports for the share size the  
size of the whole disk or parent filesystem and as a usage the whole  
usage in the disk? If this is the case then parsing this line might be  
useless.

Anyway, I hacked together a very basic support to parsing the usage  
line and it seems to work in our system.

This revealed that gollem quota support is not configurable per user  
but per defined backend system.
