Windows Server FSRM Quota Displays Incorrect Disk Space

I ran into this problem where assigning quotas to user home directories would not display the correct available/used disk space statistics.
According to the FSRM Program Manager, Georgi Matev, the problem is a deficiency in the SMB (CIFS) protocol that causes all free space queries to be done on the root of a share. This means that if the quota is set on the root of the share, then the mapped drive will correctly show the quota aware free space.
