Haven't tested 3.0 yet, but given that it was broken in the 2.2 branch I'm
not surprised. Stay tuned.

The kernel allows mounting the same remote dir to the same local dir
multiple times. The same is true for nfs and others.

Not sure I understand what you mean by disappear, but it is of course
legal to mount something else on top and that hides the smbfs mount(s). Or
does the mountpoint itself disappear? That could be a smbfs bug.
