Free space detection is strictly being based on the properties of the current "main" partition mapping, as it should be. There really isn't any way for Wine to account for a "mysteriously much bigger" "special" directory inside the current drive that Wine sees.
Doesn't Windows 2000 and greater let you mount network drives in arbitrary places in the filesystem (another Microsoft 'invention' I guees).
Note that this is from some fuzzy memories of reading stuff about it, not that I ever used this functionality myself. If this does indeed work, then there may be more free disk space in "c:\Program Files" than in "c:" and it would be interesting to see how Windows deals with this.
So can anyone confirm whether I remember right? If yes, how does one do this kind of mounting and how does Windows deal with them when reporting the free disk space?
