Research direction

The issue names Onedata fusemount, Docker's --privileged flag, and CWL, but provides no repository files, tests, or entry point. Start by locating the project's CWL execution path and determining whether it can express the required container privileges; done means a supported configuration or a documented resolution for this incompatibility.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Onedata uses fusemount, which inside a docker container needs the same device privileges as the root host. To enable this, one can run the container with --privileged flag, but this is not supported by cwl as far as I can tell. Bummer!
