This caught me out yesterday. I was trying to move models onto external disk, and it seems to require re-installation? but there was no sign of the simple CLI option that was previously presented and I gave up.

As a developer feature request, it would be great if ollama could support more than one location at once, so that it is possible to keep a couple models 'live' but have the option to plug in an external disk with extra models being picked up auto-magically based on the ollama_models path please. Or maybe the server could present a simple html interface next to the API endpoint?

And just to say thanks for making these models easily accessible. I am agAInst AI generally, but it is nice to be able to have a play with these models locally. I havent found one that covers Zig, but appreciate the steady stream of new models to try. Thanks.

I just symbolically link the default model directory to a fast and cheap external drive. I agree that it would be nice to support multiple model directories.
