Description

When creating persistent volumes, [e-mail] saw that he could specify an absolute container_path in the CREATE operation and his framework would receive a subsequent offer containing that volume, indicating a successful operation. However, the directory was not found on the agent, and indeed such an operation should be unsuccessful, since in /src/slave/containerizer/mesos/isolators/filesystem/linux.cpp it is enforced that if an absolute container_path is specified, the directory should already exist, and in this case it did not.

The CREATE operation should not appear to succeed if an invalid container_path is provided.
