Server Volume Access
I'm using Runpod primarily to run the Stable Diffusion WebUI. I also set up a Server volume so that I could upload models and have them persist across any pod I create, but I can't seem to find out how to access the Volume storage rather than the temporary pod storage, how can I upload items to the volume so that they won't be deleted every time I terminate a pod?

Deploy your pod with the network volume attached. You can either click the deploy button from the network volume or alternatively select the network volume from the filters at the top of the page before deploying your pod. I cannot be attached to a pod that is already deployed.
So if I deploy from the volume in the storage tab, it will automatically just be saved to it? I was already using the network volume when deploying, it just looked the same as before I had the volume so I felt like I was missing something
Sounds like the volume didn't get properly attached. You can only attach a network volume to a pod within the exact same region of secure cloud. It will not work in a different region or in community cloud.
/workspace
Is that path available?
thats where the volume is attached to
so you can put your files or folder there to keep it on the volume
There is still /workspace if just normal persistent storage is attached, thats not a good way to check.
Best to check your pod on the RunPod web console to confirm whether its attached.
yeah and check if its attached to a network storage
Is there a specific command to give the terminal to check if I'm connected to the volume?
You can use
df -h, then it should show something like nfs# for /workspace
