Issue

According to https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/runtime/environment#task-directories, alloc/ directory can be shared between tasks.

I have a job spec that consists of two tasks, task # 1 is a prestart that goes about downloading artifacts in to say local/cli

I then copy local/cli to alloc/data so that task #2 can use the data.

However this is not true. The task fails to find alloc/data

the driver type used here is raw_exec

I was able to figure this out. What I ended up doing was to download the artifact to local/ and then move it to alloc/data
