[Voyage-linux] 'var' directory : I'm very confused

[Kim-man "Punky" TSE]

Roberto,

Since /var/log reside in /rw, all your changes in /var/log will not be 
preserved after reboot.  There are two ways to resolve:

1. After apt-get install, copy /var/log/squid back to /ro; or
2. In /etc/voyage.conf, add /var/log/squid in VOYAGE_SYSTEM_SYNCDIRS.

Look at /etc/init.d/voyage-util, you will get the hint how to disable 
remountro.
