Alright, I have been looking in to it some more and found out it's documented.
I got this from the readme from the source package, section "Allowing User
Unmounts".
"Also note that the customary way of allowing user mounts and unmounts is
(instead of using mount.cifs and unmount.cifs as suid) to add a line
to the file /etc/fstab for each //server/share you wish to mount, but
this can become unwieldy when potential mount targets include many
or unpredictable UNC names."
So because the UNC name is read incorrect the user umount does not work.
Umount.cifs does work according to the readme, that is correct I just tried it.
I did not before because I thought umount.cifs would be handeling this for
umount anyway.
It seems there are many points of the process where the behavior of
(u)mount(.cifs) can be altered. Since the lack of this feature is documented
its not a bug.
Still this lacking feature is really confusing for users and not clearly
documented in the man pages but in a hard to get readme. It would be nice if
the feature can be added. After all if a user can use mount its only logical
for them to also use umount.
Thanks for you feedback on this Jeff and I hope you can pass my feature request
along.
