hey guys, running rancher 2.6.5 stable release... created RKE2 cluster and also added a windows worker node... however, I see by default, it uses

c:\var\lib\rancher

as directory... is there an option - or a way I can specify something other than c-drive ? perhaps like

d:\var\lib\rancher

? reason I want to do this is to keep users-stuff off the c-drive to prevent c-drive from filling up and crashing the OS.

have you seen the --data-dir flag?

thanks! I see it now... https://docs.rke2.io/subcommands/ however, do I simply add

--data-dir

to the registration command I get from rancher UI for adding windows worker node?

You would want to add it to the args in the node config customization

when I look at the node config, there is a box for rke2.io/node-args is this where I need to add?

no, that is a record of what it was started with, changing it does not actually change the args

hmm... interesting... not a Windows admin, but something I will experiment with - create a d:\var\lib\rancher and then make a symbolic link over to c:\var\lib\rancher... I will have to check to see if that is possible at all at OS layer first. then maybe it will be okay? 🤞
