Install ROS2 on SSD (Jetson)

Hi. I'm using Jetson Xavier NX and want to install ROS2 on SSD. I have installed L4T on Jetson's internal storage, which is only 15 GB. But since I've bought a new SSD and mounted on the Jetson (125GB), I want to install ROS 2 on the mounted SSD and make workspace there. Could anybody help me with it?

Thank you so much!

Quick comment: if you're building ROS from source, you can create your workspace wherever you want. There are no assumptions about the workspace being in any particular location.

If you're not building from source: it's likely/possible at least some packages have /opt/ros/$ROS_DISTRO hard-coded as the path of the ROS installation. That's not something easily changed.
