#0006: Live volume mount & unmount

You can now attach and detach storage volumes on running GPU instances without restarting them. No downtime, no lost state.

Live Mount

[NEW]

  • Live mount & unmount. Mount a volume to a running instance from the dashboard or CLI — it appears at /mnt/<volume-name> within seconds. Unmounting flushes all cached writes to storage before detaching, so nothing is lost. Works on both single-node VMs and multi-node Kubernetes clusters.

  • Multiple volumes per instance. You can now have several volumes mounted to the same instance at once. Each one gets its own path under /mnt/. The dashboard shows all mounted volumes per instance with live status.

  • Volumes are optional at boot. You no longer need to select a volume when creating an instance. The storage selector defaults to "None" — you can always mount one later from the actions menu or CLI.

  • CLI: cloudy instances mount and cloudy instances unmount. Interactive commands to attach and detach volumes on running instances:

    cloudy instances mount
    cloudy instances unmount
    

    The cloudy instances list now shows a Volumes column so you can see what's attached at a glance.

[IMPROVED]

  • Cleaner volume paths. Volumes are now exposed as /mnt/<volume-name> inside the container instead of a flat mount path. Internal mount machinery is hidden from the container filesystem.
