I would do one of either:
1. Set a different Solr home for each instance. I'd use the
-Dsolr.solr.home=/d/2 command line switch when launching Solr to do so.
2. RAID 10 the drives. If you expect the Solr instances to get uneven
traffic, pooling the drives will allow a given Solr instance to share
the capacity of all of them.

Hi folks,
I am running multiple solr instances (Solr 4.10.3 on tomcat 8).There are
3 physical machines and I have 4 solr instances running on each machine
on ports 8080,8081,8082 and 8083.The set up is well up to this point.Now I
want to point each of these instance to a different index directories.The
drives in the machines are mounted as d/1,d/2,d/3 ,d/4 etc.Now if I define
/d/1 as the solr home all solr index directories are created in /d/1
where as the other drives remain un used.So how do I configure solr to
make use of all the drives so that I can get maximum storage for solr.I
would really appreciate any help in this regard.
Thanks,
Nishanth
