[Voyage-linux] Questions with DHCP Client (dhcp3?? ) && Asterisk -- Unable to "remountro"

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

  Hi Matt,

In the coming voyage 0.7, dhcp-client will be used.  In this case, we will use the legacy rw/ro mechanism.  The latest 
voyage-utils should come with a tools for you to make the link.

/usr/local/sbin/voyage-rwfile.sh create /var/lib/dhcp3

such that, it moves your existing /var/lib/dhcp3 to /ro/var/lib/dhcp3, make a symlink /var/lib/dhcp3 ->  
/lib/init/rw/var/lib/dhcp3.  At  boot, all files and directories will be copied from /ro to /lib/init/rw.

The drawback of this method is that all files under /lib/init/rw/var/lib/dhcp3 will be lost after reboot.  I believe it 
is OK for dhcp lease info.

For asterisk issue, did you use Voyage ONE or you make your own?

Regards,
Punky
