Hello, When trying to mount samba shares using *mnt_context_mount*, the *mount.cifs* helper is called and used. This allows for automatic resolving of hostnames. However, if the hostname is not valid and the resolve fails, the call *mnt_context_mount* is still successful. Using *mnt_init_debug*, the mount.cifs helper returns an error code but this is not propagated to the status of mnt_context_mount or mnt_context_get_status. This has been tried with util-linux 2.20.1 and the latest util-linux from git (as of today). Is there a way to check the return status of the helper?
