  Leaning away from the direction this thread has gone, I just want to say that I use mount points on some of the clusters I have running at a client.

  /Rant

  ...However, I really wish that for at least the Server based operating systems Microsoft would stop using letters to assign disks and use numbers, a little like how the disks are registered within cluster storage.

  Then the basis for mount points would be moot.

  I will also mention that it annoys me that A and B are reserved drive letters for a hardware platform that is virtually non existent and at least give us the option to use those letters. (Any one got around this one?)

  Hmm... I'm getting the "There is not enough space on the disk" error again. The resolution to my previous "not enough space" was to create a folder within the mount point which I did yet I'm still getting this error today. I have allocated 900 GB for a 550 GB backup so there is more than enough space. Any ideas?

  Blah... For some reason, my mount point didn't take. Instead, there was a file folder that was created.
