Controlling a volumes mountpoint when creating a volume

[mwoodpatrick]

Is there a way to specify a volume's mountpoint when creating a volume? Simce the data in my volume could get quite large I want to control where its stored on the host

What are the pro's & cons of using volumes versus bind mounts?

I found some discussion of this in

Volumes and rootless Podman – Just another Linux geek (christophersmart.com)

I also set XDG_DATA_HOME to control where my volume data was located and then using a podman volume for my maria db data and a bind mount for my monorepo.

I would really like to hear how others are addressing this issue and pointers to elaborated discussion about the podman option --volumepath I found the docs confusing here and could not find any usage examples
