[jira] [Commented] (MESOS-3413) Docker containerizer does not symlink persistent volumes into sandbox

["Zhitao Li (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-3413?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15071374#comment-15071374 ] 

Zhitao Li commented on MESOS-3413:
----------------------------------

It seem that this task is marked as "Won't fix". I wonder whether it's possible to come up with some short fix for the existing docker containerizer so users don't need to blocked until new Unified Containerizer is ready.

There seem to be two possible "quick" fixes:
- symlink the persistent volume into sandbox;
- directly mount the persistent volume.

The getPersistentVolumePath() in src/slave/paths.cpp is already available for this purpose.

Can someone comment on this possibility?

> For the ArangoDB framework I am trying to use the persistent primitives. nearly all is working, but I am missing a crucial piece at the end: I have successfully created a persistent disk resource and have set the persistence and volume information in the DiskInfo message. However, I do not see any way to find out what directory on the host the mesos slave has reserved for us. I know it is ${MESOS_SLAVE_WORKDIR}/volumes/roles/<myRole>/<NAME>_<UUID> but we have no way to query this information anywhere. The docker containerizer does not automatically mount this directory into our docker container, or symlinks it into our sandbox. Therefore, I have essentially no access to it. Note that the mesos containerizer (which I cannot use for other reasons) seems to create a symlink in the sandbox to the actual path for the persistent volume. With that, I could mount the volume into our docker container and all would be well.
