Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/4480

What is the issue?

When starting the ollama service, i have a env variable set OLLAMA_MODELS=/mnt/storage/fast/ollama_models

Ollama fails to start, it attempts to mkdir /mnt/storage/fast it fails (oviously) and crashes.

I assume there to be some kind of permission issue as the drive is a ntfs drive (due to it being a Removeable Media

I'm on the latest version using the Linux installer Script on EndavourOS.
the ollama user has full access to all drives folders as they have rwx rw rw permissions.
Thanks!

OS

Linux

GPU

Nvidia

CPU

Intel

Ollama version

0.1.38
