Hi @Data-drone , thanks for asking!
the local-path-provisioner is a "feature" of K3s (i.e. a service that is deployed by default).

There are multiple ways of doing what you want:

• edit the configmap after cluster creation: kubectl edit cm -n kube-system local-path-config (config.json key)
• mount your own config into the auto-deploy manifests directory before creating the cluster: k3d cluster create -v /path/to/your/config.yaml:/var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/manifests/local-storage.yaml (see original here: https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/blob/master/manifests/local-storage.yaml)
• disable the deployment upfront and later deploy your own version: k3d cluster create --k3s-arg "--disable=local-storage@server:* (also works by mounting a .skip file as per https://rancher.com/docs/k3s/latest/en/installation/disable-flags/#disable-components-using-skip-files)

I hope this helps :)
