With mount -a, CIFS mounts that are already mounted get mounted again.
Issue
- If CIFS mounts were originally mounted with the Windows syntax, \\server\share, instead of Linux syntax, //server/share, then mount -a mounts them again.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.y
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.y (possibly)
