The documentation incorrectly referred to 'smbfs' as 'smpfs'. This change corrects that typo to ensure the documentation is accurate and not misleading.

And the smbfs that is referred to here was replaced by cifs many years ago. I have a feeling the entire highuid document should be deleted. It describes a transition that happened 25 years ago.
