When using a [network volume](/storage/network-volumes), your `/workspace` data is preserved whether you stop or terminate the Pod.

+Linux commands like `shutdown`, `poweroff`, and `halt` do not stop a Pod. Pods run as containers, not VMs, so these commands only affect the container's init process. The container may restart instead of stopping. To stop a Pod from inside itself, use `runpodctl pod stop $RUNPOD_POD_ID` from the CLI tab below, or call the REST API.
