Samba always reports the amount of writable space (not necessarily the same
as the amount of free space, since it takes disk quotas into account) on
whatever filesystem the root directory of a particular share is on. This is
because neither Windows nor SMB are set up to handle the concept of
mountpoints within a directory tree. The only way to get a different disk
space value for /pub/Software is to create a separate share for that dir
and map it separately (this came up on the Samba list recently).
Other alternatives to consider are mounting the new device as /pub and
storing everything on it, or concatenating the new filesystem with the old
one using software RAID-0 (this usually involves destroying the old
filesystem, but it's not much of a problem if you have a backup device and
a separate boot disk).
