You can customize the volume driver for the volumes by creating the volumes prior to installing MKE. During installation, MKE determines which volumes do not yet exist on the node and creates those volumes using the default volume driver.

By default, MKE stores the data for these volumes at /var/lib/docker/volumes/<volume-name>/_data.
