This bug is still around. Running KUbuntu 16.04 LTS (kernel 4.4.0-83-generic) with mount.cifs version: 6.4 During my research, I found this explanation from 2007 on the samba.org mailing list: https://lists.samba.org/archive/linux-cifs-client/2007-September/002214.html But it doesn't answer the question of how to remove them. I have tried remounting, which didn't fix the problem. Then I restarted both the CIFS client and the server too, without success.
