Logs path unable to handle Ramdisk

[JMyklebust]

The application is unable to handle placing the log folder on a ramdisk for some reason.
It always throws this error:
error: invalid value 'R:\StepCA\logs' for '--log-dir <path>': Incorrect function. (os error 1)

Ramdisk is based on ImDisk Ramdisk.

(Also I managed to tap enter and send this without typing anything first time 🤷)

Hi! This seems to be a limitation of Rust itself, actually. I found a few relevant tickets:

• Error when canonicalizing path on RAM drive rust-lang/rust#48249
• rustc panics when trying to get session directory when building project on ramdisk rust-lang/rust#62631

Unfortunately, I don't think there's anything I can do for now, but we can leave this open for tracking.

It's probably good to track the issue at least, and it's not super important to me that it gets resolved as I can work around it.
However I did take a deeper dive via those links and it seems you can use std::path::absolute in the cases where fs::canonicalize fails?
