incorrect samba capacity when mapped in windows !!


Hi all
i have installed a samba server on a fedora 18 minimal. the folder that i am sharing is actually a cephfs (i am testing the ceph, which is working ok as far as i can see).
the total cephfs capacity reported by df -H is 900G (3 x 300G drives), when i mount the samba folder to other linux boxes (fedora 16 and centos 6.3) the size is exactly the same as in the server. the problem starts when i map the drive in windows 2008 (tried 3 different machines), the capacity is reported as 3.27G. the free space appears to be relative to the actual free space, i.e. when i copy files into the folder it increases. it now reads about 900M used but if i select every thing inside it reports about 14G !! removing every thing will set the used space to 0
if i share a 300G drive the size in the windows is reported correctly
the windows can see a 20TB disk shared by another windows 2008 with no issues
am i missing some thing or ...??!! any one seen this before? i feal like the windows is reading only 32 bit of the capacity.
i have googled around with no results but old stuff about win xp
