I've looked into this several times and I'm still none the wiser 
I quite like the idea of Stablebit Drivepool, but I don't really need the duplication bit (I can do that manually) and just want the one big shared drive part. I looked into Storagespaces, but the parity option seems flaky and the span option is a bit risky. I wouldn't cry at losing 1 drive, but don't want to lose them all!
I have eg
D:\Movies
E:\Movies
F:\TV
G:\TV
H:\Music
All I want to do is share a "virtual drive" (I) or similar with both Movies folders, both TV and Music in, so I can just navigate to
\\Server\I\Movies and see the contents of both D and E
I've read about NTFS Junction Points, Mount Points and Symbolic Links and it seems to do what i'm after, but I can't figure it out. I've tried a couple of GUI tools, none of which have done anything
http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=25454674&postcount=6 seems to corroborate, so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction
Thanks
