Hmm...can't believe this has never come up for me before; but I need to know the size of a User share. How can I check that?

You can telnet to the server and use the du command.  For example du -h  /mnt/user/Movies/ gives me the size of my Movies share.  Here's a simple overview of du : http://www.codecoffee.com/tipsforlinux/articles/22.html

If you have a windows machine on your network, you could use Windirstat. It gives you detailed statistics per user share or disk share and folder occupation. I use this program to track folders that should not have been splitted accross several drives and merge them back together. This way, I avoid unnecessary spinups.
