Looking at the debian BTS...

If mount.cifs is appending an extra / to the device, then that sounds like a
bug. I think it's actually already fixed by this patch that went into 4.6:

commit 5e1924a6f79c1b07d9bcb4977b58f94efaaa0301
Author: Jeff Layton <jlayton at samba.org>

    mount.cifs: use original device name as-is for mtab

...now, as far as refusing to mount an existing cifs mount on top of another...

I don't see any reason why it should be explicitly disallowed. mount.nfs for
instance allows this to occur. Why shouldn't we?

Given that, I'm going to close this as WONTFIX. Please reopen if you want to
discuss it further...
