[Voyage-linux] Comments about 0.6.2 and /rw /ro replacement by aufs a good idea? I don't think so ...

[Beat Meier]

Hello all

Comments about voyage-0.6.2 (more will follow I'm still installing my 
system ...)

The state of the following packages should be corrected
  file libmagic1 live-initramfs sudo user-setup
State is listed bad ...
  dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii
->
rc  file                               4.26-1                         
Determines file type using "magic" numbers
rc  libmagic1                          4.26-1                         
File type determination library using "magic
rc  live-initramfs                     1.156.1+1.157.2-1              
Debian Live initramfs hook
rc  sudo                               1.6.9p17-2                     
Provide limited super user privileges to spe
rc  user-setup                         1.23                           
Set up initial user and password

I don't know which of this realy are in use (or some part of this) so 
please consider to
either install agin or to delete the package.

The whole timezone stuff (/usr/share/zoneinfo) of package tzdata was 
deleted...
Is this the right way?

Now the worst thing (at least for me :-)):
I've noticed (and read in changelog) that /rw /ro was replaced by 
/var/log and /var/tmp with aufs
and that /rw and /ro are no more in use.
I think this is a very bad idea.
To replace /var/log /var/tmp is a good idea BUT you should leave the 
conecpt of /ro and /rw
For example there are a lot of packages which needs rw access at runtime 
in other places
of /var like
  pdnsd : /var/cache/pdnsd
  dhcp3-server : /var/lib/dhcp3
  mrtg: /var/lib/mrtg
and may more.
as also the whole home dir of users which you want for example save the 
.ssh keys
while the machine is up ...
I now you can link to /var/tmp but I think this is not the right way
I must say I don't know aufs well.
I can add dirs in voyage-sync but thats not the solution to the above 
problem, or is it?

If the /rw /ro stuff really will be disabled please post a not how the 
users can enable this if it want.
Of what is the solution to the above problem with aufs.

Thanks a lot and Greetings

Beat
