Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/10223

What is the issue?

When quantizing a model ollama writes the whole model to the system drive instead of staying on the drive where the models live. The expected behavior is that ollama isn't hardcoded to use a particular drive for anything, I expect many people do not have the hundreds of gigabytes free for such operations on their system drives.

OS

Windows

Intel

Ollama version

0.6.4

Set %TMP% in the server environment to a temporary directory on the volume where the models are.

Fair enough. I'll make a pull clarifying the documentation.
