I mounted two shared file path to F: and G: respectively, and set my shadow replica index as follows:  
{  
"index":{  
"data\_path": "F:\esindex,G:\esindex",  
"shadow\_replicas": true  
}  
}

But always got unassigned shards error. Does ES support multiple shared file for shadow replica index folders?
