Description of problem: Even if that is the wrong thing to do. Mounting N times the same share on the same mount point produces N allocations of N smbmount daemons. % mount -t smbfs //host/share /mnt/smbfs % mount -t smbfs //host/share /mnt/smbfs % mount -t smbfs //host/share /mnt/smbfs % mount -t smbfs //host/share /mnt/smbfs This will show up as 4 processes with about the equal amount of memory allocated. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): samba-client-3.0.9-1.3E.9 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. mount -t smbfs several times from same share to same mount point. Actual results: several deamons are used for a single ones task. Expected results: Only one daemon as CIFS (kernel thread in this case) performing the operation. Additional info: I'm not sure if that is by design tho, but at least it shouldn't allocate memory for each smbmnt operation.
