Since you mount rw, create a directory *outside* the /var hierarchym for 
example /logs/squid and edit squid.conf to direct the logs under this 
direcotry.  This is the quickest solution.

Voyage is designed to be run on systems that boot from Compact Flash 
devices and this is the primary reason that it starts with anything on 
the CF mounted as ro.  This is because "be design" CF cards are built 
for multiple reads and not that many write operations.
