[Voyage-linux] How does this /ro /rw thing work?

[Edwin Whitelaw]

When mounted ro, you really can't write to the CF.  I've changed 
syslog.conf to log everything to a regular diskful loghost.  That keeps 
the logfiles off the volatile WRAP ramdisk and gives you essentially 
unlimited storage and analyses capabilities.

I realize that doesn't answer all your questions but does address the 
logging issue.
