-jobdw directive fields
-----------------------
-
-The **type** field can be one of ``xfs``, ``lustre``, ``gfs2``, or ``raw``.
-``lustre`` storage is shared by all nodes in the job. By contrast, the other types
-are for node-local storage. Processes on one node will not be able to read
-data written on other nodes. Currently only ``xfs`` and ``lustre`` are known
-to work properly.
-
-The **capacity** field describes how much storage to be allocated. For ``lustre``
-the capacity refers to the overall capacity. For all other types, the capacity refers
-to the capacity per node. See
-`this Wikipedia article <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte#Multiple-byte_units>`_
-for the meaning of the suffixes.
-
-The **name** field determines the suffix to the ``DW_JOB_`` environment variable.
-See below for more detail.
-
-.. note::
-
-	The **name** field can only contain lowercase alphanumeric characters.
-	Underscores, spaces, and dashes are not allowed.
-
-
-Using Rabbit Storage
---------------------
-
-For each ``jobdw`` directive associated with your job, your job will have
-an environment variable ``DW_JOB_[name]`` where ``[name]`` is the value
-of the ``name`` field in the directive. The value of the environment variable
-will be the path to the associated file system.
-
-For instance, for a directive ``#DW jobdw type=xfs capacity=10GiB name=project1``,
-the associated job will have an environment variable ``DW_JOB_project1``.
-
-
-Data Movement Directives
-------------------------
-
-To request that files be moved to or from the rabbits, additional DW
-directives must be added to the job in addition to jobdw directives.
-The ``copy_in`` directive is for moving data to the rabbits before the job
-starts, and the ``copy_out`` directive is for moving data from the rabbits
-after the job completes.
-
-Both ``copy_in`` and ``copy_out`` directives have ``source`` and ``destination``
-fields which indicate where data is to be taken from and where it is to be moved to.
-The source must exist.
