Hello,

I attempted to use my own dataset on Kaggle, which I created using `save_to_disk` and uploaded as a Kaggle dataset. I can load this dataset with `load_from_disk('/kaggle/input/my_dataset_dir')`, but I can’t perform operations like ‘train\_test\_split’ because of the read-only filesystem:

```auto
OSError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/kaggle/input/my_dataset_dir/tmp5x3dj6no'

```

When I try loading it with `load_dataset(streaming=True)`, I encounter an error:

```auto
ValueError: You are trying to load a dataset that was saved using `save_to_disk`. Please use `load_from_disk` instead.

```

What should I do to use my datasets on a read-only filesystem?
