Originally assigned to: @BruceMacD on GitHub.

As a user of ollama on Windows, I would like to be able to store models and other large files on a secondary drive of my choosing.

I built from source and ran the server, then tried pulling models and realized I would run out of disk space. On my gaming rig, my C drive (where $HOME is) is fairly constrained and I store most things on a larger D.

I was able to work around this limitation with the following diff, but ideally this would be a command-line opt. I defer to y'all maintainers as to how you'd refactor this. Thanks for the awesome work!

Great feedback, this scenario was one of my targets for #897, it is now possible in the most recent release.
