To keep the number of driveletters to a minimum, have
the same directory structure on the instances and do
something with disks and performance I tried this:

MSSQL$I1\Data
         \Data1 <- mount point
         \Tlog
        \Backup
         \Backup1 <- mount point

MSSQL$I2\Data
         \Data1 <- mount point
         \Tlog
        \Backup
         \Backup1

MSSQL$I3\Data
         \Data1
         \Tlog
        \Backup
         \Backup1

And ran into the SQL Setup does not support mount points
bug or feature. So I added driveletter to the mounted disk.
I am still thinking off using the mount points next to the drive
letters. Are the any other issues or disadvantages I should be
aware off?
