you're using network storage, if you save your files in /workspace it will be saved and not be lost So terminate it, after saving your files (runpod doesn't allow stop pod on pods with network storage)

If its in /workspace its saved I don't know about your files, how do you edit them? or what files are they

all good just clarifying so i can help you better Yes that can work terminate your pod only, keep your network storage yes choose your existing network storage save your files / install your programs / make your programs use /workspace for saving or reading files

Hmm like browsing the content? only from pods and serverless for now To see what network storage do you own check on your Runpod website > storage serverless is from /runpod-volume not workspace

hey, just curious, do you know the reason why there is no stop button for pods that using network volume?
Jason

In short because there's not really a great reason for it to exist Because stop is like to save money when you're not using the instance right

hmm, since you suppose to save everything to network volume, there is no need to pause it, I think that make sense, TY
Jason

Yeah it's the same of terminating then Because no pod storage anymore while turned off if you imagine it
