Could be --- it sounds like some oddity in how Samba is exporting the
space, possibly due to the fact that ext2/3 reserve a static inode
table on disk.  300GB out of a 1.2TB filesystem sounds a bit much,
though --- it could be that something is getting 32-bit arithmetic
wrong in the Windows side of things, too, as we're close to wrapping
several counters once you get into the TB fs range.

Cheers,
