When we run the optimization process on some XYZ table using pt-archiver, the optimization process is using /mnt/data (default Data directory) which do not have enough disk space to run the process, so instead of that i have added new disk called (/optimization-data partition). So we are looking for an option to pass the new disk as parameter and try to run the optimization process on that disk.

# Is there any such option is available to run the percona pt-archiver (for optimize) to include specific partition in the command Below is the current command we use for optimize

# pt-archiver --no-check-charset --source h=localhost,D=ABCD,t=XYZ --purge --optimize=s --where “id \< 2635421542”

we need to include /optimization-data partition to run the optimization process
