Any luck trying the same thing to Windows and/or Azure to see if this is possible Samba bug - sounds like possible Samba server bug but need more information. Are you using one of the Samba plug in VFS modules on the server (like vfs_btrfs)? What does the filesystem show (before and after) on the server side (local file system not just the remote view that Samba is returning for statfs) when you try the df -h?
