Currently, these path must be on the same volume, because nginx just
link() to new place without copying. However, I plan to fallback
to copy temp file to another temporarily file on proxy_cache_path
voulme and then link() it to permanent name. As current workaround
you may set special proxy_temp_path for some locaitons only:

http {

proxy_cache_path /vol1/cache ...
proxy_temp_path /vol2/temp;

server {

location / {
proxy_cache ...
proxy_temp_path /vol1/temp;
