title: Where is k3s storing pods?
body: <p>I can’t find information about where the pods that run on nodes are stored… I know its temporary file but what if I want them to be created on specific storage or mount point ?</p>
  
  <p>From df -h on one node I can see it mounts:</p>
  
  <pre><code>shm 64M 0 64M 0% /run/k3s/containerd/io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri/sandboxes/a9d11117b319432fff833cda48e5dc16f88bcc28b8e8148077d607ddaf41dfab/shm

  <p>But where is the setting what root folder it use for that mount… what I want to do is specify for example /cluster_tmp to be the main root for the cluster pods that are deployed on node…</p>
  
  <p>I’m running rpi cluster and would like to use usb3 disk for the storage not the sd card, to lighten the read/writes to the card…</p>
