I have the exact same bug in 11.04. I have two computers at home, both
with Ubuntu, and one of them is booted to win from time to time. On the
first machine I have two samba shares, and on 10.10 I made mounts to
them using cifs. But, after update to 11.04, file transfer over this
mounts became too slow (~500 kilobytes/s), and I opted for gvfs
solution. But, gvfs access always reposts 0 bytes free, while cifs
reports actual bytes free. Now, I'm using 2 links to each share - one
with cifs (so, I can see the amount of free space), and one with gvfs
(so, I can copy at relatively decent speed, ~5 megabytes/s: with
maverick's cifs access I had ~10 megabytes/s). A bit stupid solution, I
know, but I have nothing better for now. From win os, everything works
as expected (it reports actual free space, and copy speed is ~10
megabytes/s). So, the problem is definitely in cifs (speed) and gvfs
(free space).
