Hi, as non-root user I mounted the same windows share at the same mount point more than once (see sequece bellow) Next I was trying smbumount to the last mount: those has been unmounted. Previsous mount I found in this mount point, but it is invisible in system by `df -a` or `mount` tools.

Please test the cifs fs. smbfs has been deprecated and is not very well supported these days.
