Volume Mount

Users can mount datasets, projects, and files to either an experiment or a service.

1. Volume mount to a VESSL cluster

When you create experiments or workspaces on a VESSL cluster, you can find the volume mount tree in the form of a file directory starting from the root (/). You can mount different objects to specified repository paths as following:

Special path	Note
/input	A default mount path for datasets.
/output	(experiment only) A fixed immutable empty directory. Files in it can be downloaded via web after experiment finished.
/root	A working directory. For workspaces, this is the only persistent directory.

2. Volume mount to a custom cluster

You can start experiments or services on a custom cluster by clicking ADD NFS and add datasets and files by the clicking corresponding buttons. The NFS mount options are as follows:

Option	Note	Examples
Server URL	NFS server endpoint	10.10.10.10
Server Path	NFS directory absolute path to mount	/volume1/sharing
Mount Path	Mount destination path to experiment container	/input

You can only mount NFS volume to custom clusters.
