      Hello – I'm looking for guidance running a Docker application in Pegasus. We have a shared filesystem mounted on our worker nodes (e.g., /data) but it is not being mounted into the container.  Looking at the user guide, it appears that only the job directory is mounted into /scratch.  With Singularity, I can resolve by adding the path to my image at build time.  

      [10:24 AM] Craig Willis (willis8@illinois.edu): We're working on a pilot workflow based on the collaboration with Mats. Not particularly pressing, but we are hoping to move to this implementation soon for a large-scale reprocessing.
      [10:25 AM] Craig Willis (willis8@illinois.edu): It sounds like at the moment, we should assume that the data is copied to the working directory. We were just hoping to avoid that step, if possibe.
      [10:25 AM] Craig Willis (willis8@illinois.edu): Or use Singularity.
