How to stop a Network Disk
I setup a pod as a network disk so I could pause it and connect to a different server if needed (as opposed to the standard pods that can only connect to the same server and usually can't), but I'm unsure how to stop it. I don't see the stop button in the UI. I've discovered I cannot connect to the Web Terminal due to a bug, so uploading models and input files has broken my workflow and I want to save the process I have so far before my $ runs out.

For network storage you can only terminate pods
Huh, then I misunderstood the entire concept of Network pods then.
there is no network pods
You have 3 typeds of storage pod can have:
- container storage - this one stores temp files os files gets wiped on pod stop
- volume storage - all files saved there are saved on pod stop, though this storage cant be moved between machine
- network storage - similar to volume but can be moved between machines (when using this one you can only delete pod)
is there a doc for " I need to shut down the pod, then assign the network disk to another pod" sorry not sure exacly what I'm looking for then
Solution
you can attach network storage to new pod
click Select Network Volume
ok cool
Ok so perhaps this part is unclear to me (as a longtime user of Runpod templates) -- if I have a network disk, and I terminate the pod, does that destroy everything, or does that just terminate the pod and the network storage is saved?
Network storage is saved
cool, thanks. hopefully web terminal has a fix soon. I couldn't even get my models and inputs uploaded for $25
I am only able to figure out how to setup a new network disk. When I go to GPU Cloud I don't see any place to use existing network storage, only for setting up new storage. EDIT, I found the existing network storage, but not sure what pod template to begin with.
You can use whichever template you want, depends on your own requirements.
I tried the the Pytorch template, got ComfyUI running, but not a public URL. I tried the Docker referenced in this thread now, same. EDIT: now trying ComfyUI template, it appears to have 2 ComfyUI folders. I'm locked out of the web terminal again. I deleted the ComfyUI folder and plan to copy the ComfyUI folder from the volume to where the old ComfyUI folder was as soon as I can get to the terminal again.
