When I add a new persistent volume to a cluster and choose the _Local Disk Path_ option, with ‘directory, use or create’ option, where should I be expecting that directory? The persistent storage volume is created within Rancher and containers bind to it but I’d like to know where is the data on the underlying system to be able to persist it properly.

I’m not seeing it on the host machine where rancher runs. I’ve just entered an absolute path (e.g., `/vol1`), but the directory never shows up.
