Does it ever make sense/is it possible to move certain docker volumes to another physical volume, but not all? (lemmy.world)

I'm hosting a few services using docker. For something like an openstreetmap tileserver, I'd like it to remain on my SSD because high speed improves performance, and the directory is unlikely to grow and fill the drive.

For other services like NextCloud, speed isn't as important as storage size, so I might want it on a larger HDD raid.

I know it's trivial to move the volumes directory to wherever, but can I move some volumes to one directory and some volumes to another?

I do that, until some container has permissions issues.
I tinker, try and fix it, give up and use a volume. Or I fix it, but it never seems to be the same fix

I occasionally have had permissions issues but I tend to be able to fix them. Normally it's just a matter of deleting the files on the host and letting the container create them, though it doesn't always work it usually does.
