Persistent files in Network Storage
I spun up a network volume. I've now added a GPU. I'm working on ComfyUI. When I download models, some of them are large and I'd like them to be persistent and would rather not have to download them each time. Also, obviously I'd like my images and videos to be saved persistently. Also, I'm going to make sure I'm using the right folders, etc. I noticed theres a ComfyUI folder in root (
/
), and also one in /workspace
. Is /workspace
temporary and wiped every time I attach a new GPU? Or its ok to save models etc there, or I should save elsewhere?Solution:Jump to solution
No it it's the opposite,workspace is usually the persistent disk,check your pod settings where do you mount the volume disk or network storage

Depending on how your template( the one that you used) it seems like it symlinks or syncs up those 2 folder, and uses the / root one because it's faster
/workspace or the network storage is usually slower because it's a decentralized storage

I just started the pod and didn't really select anything other than default
So
/workspace
is good to go and just use that?
I can delete the GPU anytime and reattach another one later and still have everything?
