SCCM is placing shares wherever it wants

On a site server with multiple disks, SCCM freely chooses where to place its
shares (package repository, etc.), assuming they should go on the disk with
the most free space.
Howewer, an admin could want some files to go on the disk *he* chooses, f.e.
if the disks with the most free space are the ones used for SQL Server
database and transaction logs.

Is it at all possible to tell SCCM *where* to place its files? How?

Great, thanks.

Disable the role of DP from the site system, and create a new Server Share.
You can then specify the exact location of the DP share, and thus direct
SCCM to only use the drive on which the share resides.
