I am installing rke2 on Debian. In AWS ec2 instance, it went well.  
But on-prem, rke2-server service not starting. Throwing below error,

containerd: fork/exec /var/lib/rancher/rke2/data/v1.21.5-rke2r1-5bfec0c55601/bin/containerd: permission denied

This is due to the file system /var is restricted for Exec. (set as noexec)

Is there any way to change the installation path other than /var/lib/rancher?

Any workarounds?

This solved.  
Due to FS exec permissions in /var.
