For some reason this workarround didn't worked. I've tried to avoid
'sendsigs' killing NetworkManager and dhcp* processes the same way
it's done for rsyslogd but it's not clean for the ROOT file system. I
haven't tried to debug it as it's not a real solution in my opinion
("/etc/init.d/networking restart" it waits forever).

The only good workaround I have right now is to execute the command
you specified (umount -t cifs -a) in 'sendsig' before sending any
signal to the remaining processes. So far this is the only wat to
avoid an unclean ROOT file system followed by a forced kernel reboot
at every 2-3 startups.

Thanks
