Creating a symlink for docker-volumes to another directory

For reasons I need to symlink /var/lib/docker/volumes into /net/datadisc/disc1/docker_volumes, i.e. ever volume that docker creates inside /var/lib/docker/volumes would instead be created in /net/datadisc/disc1/docker_volumes

sudo ln -s /net/datadisc/disc1/docker_volumes /var/lib/docker/volumes doesn't do it.
