[Voyage-linux] Voyage Linux Experimental Release based on Debian Lenny

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi all,

The disk persistence is now supported.  The following directories 
although will run in tmpfs at runtime, but it will synchronized back to 
disk before system is reboot or halt.

/var/log
/var/tmp

These directories are actually aufs mount points.  All the changes are 
written to tmpfs.   /var/run and /var/lock will be run in tmpfs, but 
will not written to disk before reboot.  They are enabled by RAMRUN and 
RAMLOCK settings in /etc/default/rcS.

Hence, there is no more /ro and /rw.  If you installed a new package 
that would create directory in /var/log, it will be sync' back to the 
device before reboot. 

Please try and report back for any issues.  Thanks.

Regards,
Punky
