Coreutils includes a rather extensive list of file systems (alas, it's
GPLv3+ code, so we can't use it verbatim without asking Jim Meyering and
other coreutils folks to relax the license):

This is correct; but since samba and cifs are highly inter-related (same
protocol, just which driver is implementing it), you also need a define
for CIFS_SUPER_MAGIC 0xff534d42.

Looking forward to v2.
