[Bug 427896] Re: Cannot unmount a windows network share.

[Graham Klyne]

I'm seeing this problem in Ubuntu 8.10 (LTS).

I see that /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab are out of sync with regard to
CIFS mounts.

I'm running mount.cifs and umount.cifs from a non-root user, but
/sbin/mount.cifs and /sbin/umount.cifs have been modified using "chmod
+s ..."

Googling indicates a problem in umount.cifs that is known to the Debian
and Samba communities: that the umount is succceeding, but failing to
update /etc/mtab.  See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=461048.  That report also refers to
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4370 - apparently this is
fixed in the Samba master codebase.

I'd like to know if this is fixed in a later Ubuntu version;  i.e. will
upgrading fix the problem for me?
