CIFS mount status

I have some embedded devices running Linux (4.14.126), and i want them to write some of their logfiles to a network share on another (Windows 10) computer. Mounting the network share works mostly fine, apart from the fact that i have to provide login credentials (which i wanted to avoid), but i need some reliable way to detect a broken mount (for example when i reboot the PC). - Is it possible to get some kind of status information for a cifs mount? - What error conditions (if any) can be detected without actually trying to read from (or write to) the share? - Is it possible for my application to get automatic notifications in case of an error (maybe through inotify)? - Do i have to handle remounting myself, or does that happen automatically once the share becomes available again? PS (in case it matters): I won't use fstab, because the location of the network share is not known at boot time.
