size considerations CWL Toil workflow step inputs

I'm experiencing a disk usage warning using Toil with CWL:

w01.cbio.private 2018-10-17 04:22:20,803 Thread-403 WARNING toil.statsAndLogging: Got message from job at time 10-17-2018 04:22:20: Job used more disk than requested.

However, the outputs from this step are less than 1MB.

With Toil with CWL, do the input files count towards the outdirMax limit?

Or is there another source that contributes to this limit?

Thank you!

I found that the inputs to this step add up to 236GB (pretty close to 234GB from the warning), so it seems like they are indeed being considered for the diskMinRequirement
