Nomad has a "raw" execution mode where you can run arbitrary commands in your cluster (it can schedule more than just containers). Using this, you could run the Docker command you want with the right flags. This might include setting --volumes-from or whatever. But you shouldn't really be using persistent volumes on a node level (since the whole point is to be resilient to node deaths), so if you can hook it up to some networked and redundant storage you can access it anywhere in your cluster. In principle you can already do this, by making a volume plugin. I'm just interested to see how Nomad will deal with volume plugins.
