As far as I know you can not mount a folder/dir that
is not shared.
In this case create a new share for abcd_Linux_dev and mount it
as
smbmount '//a.b.c.d/abcd_Linux_dev' '/root/pqrs/LinuxDev' -o
username=abcd/<domain>,uid=abcd,gid=abcd
may be I'm wrong :-)

Yes Steve.
All folders until abcd_Linux_dev are shared. But pls note that the
subsequent folders inside this folder are not shared. But that should not
matter I guess.
Any other possible reason?
Thanks,
Divya.

Are you sure abcd_Linux_dev is a share?
Thanks

Hi,
I just now got how to do it. It looks like we have to specify only until
CCViews rather than specifying CCViews/abcd/abcd_Linux_dev in the command
below. However, I am not sure how we can access until abcd_Linux_dev.
smbmount '//a.b.c.d/CCViews/abcd/abcd_Linux_dev' '/root/pqrs/LinuxDev' -o
username=abcd/<domain>,uid=abcd,gid=abcd
The command gives the error:
21896: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an
invalid share name) if a complete path is given. Anyone knows how to do it?
Because, I do not want to see all the folders under CCViews, rather I want
to see only those under abcd_Linux_dev.
Thanks,
Divya.

Maybe this is stupid, but I'll take a shot at it -- have you tried without
the /<domain>?
