windows_smb_server_shares_received_bytes_total	Received bytes on the SMB Server Share	counter	share
windows_smb_server_shares_write_requests_total	Writes requests on the SMB Server Share	counter	share
windows_smb_server_shares_read_requests_total	Read requests on the SMB Server Share	counter	share
windows_smb_server_shares_metadata_requests_total	Metadata requests on the SMB Server Share	counter	share

Windows keeps Read Requests/sec and Write Requests/sec as 32-bit raw counters. The collector extends them past 2^32 per share, so read_requests_total and write_requests_total don't drop back to a low value when the raw counter wraps. The extended value starts at the raw value and follows the raw counter when the share restarts.
