Is it possible to store snapshot data in to a different folder?

[johnnydev543]

If erigon has this feature, that will be great that the snapshot folder can be store in HDD to save the SSD space.

done. snapshots are in: <your_datadir>/snapshots
use our alpha releases and flag --syncmode=snap

[AskAlexSharov]

same about <your_datadir>/eth-temp folder

[AskAlexSharov]

main db is in <your_datadir>/chaindata, but easier mount <your_datadir> to fast drive, and <your_datadir>/snapshots to slow drive.

Thx for the reply.
Unfortunately, I'm using docker.so symlink doesn't work for this.
panic: rename /datadir/snapshots_tmp /datadir/snapshots: not a directory
Is there a flag to support custom folder path?

[AskAlexSharov]

ah, i forgot about this place... we must change /snapshots_tmp to /snapshots/tmp
so, in your case: let Erigon download all snapshot - it will rename folder in the end.
Then stop erigon, move move /datadir/snapshots dir to another drive, mount that dir to /datadir/snapshots. Erigon will not do any renaming in future.

I will try to fix it tomorrow.
