On the other hand you were talking about buying 3rd party filesystems to get around the drive letter limit (not sure where you got 20 from btw). What 3rd party filesystems are you buying that are supported for RAC on Windows? The only one that I'm aware of is Oracle's CFS.

The discussion in the RAC configuration guide for disk installation for RAC on windows also talks about mounting volumes in an NTFS file system.

Assigning Logical Names or Drive Letters, or Mounting Directories

After creating volumes, assign logical names or drive letters, or mount them on directories for use by Oracle. Use the Windows graphical interface or the command line to create a mounted drive or assign a drive letter to the partition, logical drive or volume. Names can be assigned to partitions using Oracle Object Link Manager.

The following example uses the diskpart tool to create a 32 MB partition on disk 100 and to assign the drive letter B to the partition. In this example, diskpart.exe is the command line tool for managing disks.

c:\> diskpart.exe

diskpart> select disk 100
diskpart> create partition primary size=32
diskpart> assign letter=B

Optionally, mount the partition on an NTFS folder instead of assigning a drive letter:

diskpart> assign mount=C:\mnt\raw_1
