[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#383375: #383375 smbfs: umount.cifs leaves share listed in 'df'

[Noèl Köthe]

umount.cifs(8)
...
BUGS
       At this time umount.cifs does not lock the mount table using  the  same
       lock  as  the  umount  utility  does,  so do not attempt to do multiple
       unmounts from different processes (and in particular unmounts of a cifs
       mount and another type of filesystem mount at the same time).

       If  the same mount point is mounted multiple times by cifs, umount.cifs
       will remove all of the matching entries from the mount table  (although
       umount.cifs  will actually only unmount the last one), rather than only
       removing  the  last  matching  entry  in  /etc/mtab.   The   pseudofile
       /proc/mounts  will  display correct information though, and the lack of
       an entry in /etc/mtab does not prevent subsequent unmounts.

       Note that the typical response to a bug report is a suggestion  to  try
       the  latest  version  first. So please try doing that first, and always
       include which versions you use of relevant software when reporting bugs
       (minimum:  umount.cifs (try umount.cifs -V), kernel (see /proc/version)
       and server type you are trying to contact.
