I recommend to use external script or program for storage report.

many thanks ... did not found something in the archive, will search again.
i found out, it looks like an samba issue
i set up: data/users/user1 75M
i have 2 shares in samba users -> path=data/users user1 -> path=data/users/user1
if i mount //server/users/user1 -> quota is not shown (//server/users/user1 5.5T 3.8G 5.5T 1% /mnt)
if i mount the //server/user1 -> quota is shown correctly (//server/user1 72M 36M 36M 50% /mnt)
looks bad to me, don't see an solution.

My next question was whether you were trying to apply quotas at multiple points between the root and the target, and it appears you are. IIRC there were discussions about that on this list some years ago. I'm not sure that it is supported, and I don't really see how it could be. However I'm not an expert in this area, so perhaps someone else can chime in.

update, burns my head down :)
first level is working fine, under /mnt/pve/cephfs/shares/FOLDER/data/ server1 server2 users (in samba and smb client)
one step down, not /mnt/pve/cephfs/shares/FOLDER/data/users username
if i mount via ceph on the samba server /mnt/pve/cephfs/shares/FOLDER/data/users/username i see the correct quota size SRV@ID.cephfs=//shares/FOLDER/data/users/username 72M 0 72M 0% /srv/samba/data/username
if i mount this via smb client no //SERVER/data/users/username 5.5T 3.8G 5.4T 1% /mnt3

Hi Ronny
I use the very straightforward method of having a linux VM that kernel-mounts the cephfs filesystem via fstab at /mnt/cephfs. I apply an 8TB quota to one of the top-level directories /mnt/cephfs/data2 (not the root of /mnt/cephfs as I mistakenly said earlier!). Samba then exports /mnt/cephfs/data2/x, /mnt/cephfs/data2/y etc just via the VM's directory tree. Each of the exports (some with different access permissions etc specified in samba) all correctly share the quota set on data2.
This is a low-usage cluster, especially via samba, and has always just worked. So I've never had any reason to experiment with vfs etc.

hi chris and thanks for answer.
do you use samba vfs ceph/ceph_new or mount cephfs on samba server and export that? what do you mean, "cephfs root though"
i would like to have something like that
data/users/user1 10g data/users/user2 5g data/users/user3 20g data/users/user4 10g data/share1 100g data/share2 200g ...
