Short answer: AFAIK dir.root is supposed to point only to a single directory.

But wait… if you look at the directory structure beneath <dir.root>/contentstore/ , you'll notice that its path structure is like <year>/<month>/<day>/etc. Thus, if you create the folder for each year in advance and attach to one of your SANs volumes, you might end up with your desired "volume per year" solution
This adds of course a dependency to Alfrescos internal storage implementation (so in case of an product update you have to verify if this solution still works). And you have to take care to mount your volume not later than december 31. :mrgreen:
