A Mounting Issue

I use Ubuntu 18.04. I have a Docker container w2l:

~$ sudo docker ps -a

In order to access the files in the folder,

/home/ml/w2l
:

from the container, I did:

$ sudo docker run -v /home/ml/w2l:/root/w2l wav2letter/wav2letter:cuda-latest

to mount

/home/ml/w2l
to
/root/w2l

The above command went through but it did not produce any messages.

Unfortunately, from the container, it sounds that I could not access the files in

/home/ml/w2l
:
root@fb4270322d7d:/# ls -lah /root/w2l
ls: cannot access '/root/w2l': No such file or directory

Any comments about this? Thank you!

Now, it sounds that the container is gone:

$ sudo docker exec -it w2l bash
Error: No such container: w2l

When I do:

$ sudo docker ps -a

the container, w2l, is not on the list anymore. I did not remove it. Anyway to have it back? In the future, how may I prevent this happen again? Thank you!
