Worst case scenario you could fall back to using the dfree option in
smb.conf and then use a program to get the file quota. I have the ~100
lines of C that you need it. Though it has been ~5 years since I last
used it.

In fact the whole reporting the fileset quota as the disk size is my
idea, and the dfree config option is how I implemented it prior to IBM
adding it to the vfs_gpfs module.

A quick check shows a commit from Jeremy Allison on June 18th last year
to use const stuct smb_filename, the comment on the commit is

…instead of const char *.

We need to migrate all pathname based VFS calls to use a struct
to finish modernising the VFS with extra timestamp and flags
parameters.

I suspect this change has broken the behaviour.
