So let say if you have 5 luns that all of the nodes on the cluster can see, I would think you have to create the first disk first let say G drive and mount all other luns onto this G drive, is it correct?
Assume you got all of the luns mount to disk G, so if the lun that allocated to Disk G went bad, all other four luns that were depend on G went bad as well? Once you got mount point completed, will you see disk G with G from explorer or you only see G physically? Yes, you would actually create the mount point in the G Drive. So what you would do is initialize the new LUN in disk administion. Create new partition, when you get to the assign drive letter phase and choose "Mount in the following empty NTFS folder.
For some reason only the G physical. But I believe when you add data to the mount point is doesn't take away from the physical disk free space. Is this page helpful?

Rick has years of IT experience and focuses on virtualization, Windows-based server administration, and system hardware. Here are several cases where using mount points make sense instead of assigning fixed drive letters: Exchange server database groups: In many large Exchange server configurations, this is a best practice.
It is supported for most Exchange configurations, as outlined in this KB article. Windows distributed file system DFS shares with many large directories: In this configuration, a folder within a DFS share would correspond to a logical unit number LUN on a storage system. Further, the DFS share or the file contents could be relocated to another server at the SAN controller, saving precious time in large data moves.
A means to avoid the use of Windows dynamic disks: In most cases, Windows Server administrators still format drives as basic disk. While the dynamic disk is a way to extend capacity on demand, many administrators keep basic disks in use for application support, consistency, or consequence of default configuration. When working with an application that has a fixed drive letter requirement, yet a dynamic growth requirement: This is sometimes referred to as "fill and spill" for a single drive letter and many folders underneath that drive letter.
Each folder would be a mount point, allowing dynamic growth by keeping the same drive letter as a parent identifier.
