------------------------------------

             Summary: Allow for RootFs to be set for mesos filesystem tasks
                 Key: AURORA-1903
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AURORA-1903
             Project: Aurora
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Zameer Manji
            Assignee: Zameer Manji


Currently when a TaskConfig is for a Mesos container task and it has an image. We currently place the image as a volume mounted at {{taskfs}} in the sandbox. Thermos, or other executors are launched outside the image and then are expected to chroot into the {{taskfs}} directory.

However I think it would be a fine addition to allow executors to set the {{image}} property of the Mesos container instead of putting the image as a volume. This enables some tasks to get around a limitation of the MesosContainerizer where certain container paths must already exist in the image and the host.

See the [documentation|http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/docker-volume/] for the table that describes this.
