Hi Paul, Noticing the logging output, "Failed to find resources file '/tmp/mesos/meta/resources/resources.info'", I wonder if your trouble may be related to the location of your agent's work_dir. See this ticket: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-4541
Some users have reported issues resulting from the systemd-tmpfiles service garbage collecting files in /tmp, perhaps this is related? What platform is your agent running on? You could try specifying a different agent work directory outside of /tmp/ via the `--work_dir` command-line flag.
