Mounting a Data Disk to ray_results

[Eric_Adlam]

I’m running rllib in the cloud (Azure) and want to save ray_results to permanent storage rather than the vm’s virtual storage so that I don’t lose checkpoints if I shutdown the VM.

I know ray.tune has the sync_config option, but I’m wondering if anyone has tried just mounting a disk to /home/ray/ray_results for more permanent storage?

Yeah, that absolutely should work! you could just point tune.run(local_dir=SOME/NFS/PATH).
