Well, one of the great features of Voyage is the setup to run from
Flash-storage mounted readonly. By remounting it r/w on boot you loose
the feature that is the most important for me to consider Voyage at all.

I'll just assume you have some application that wants to store something
somewhere on startup. /etc/default/voyage-util enables you to add such
directories in a CF-friendly manner. We use this e.g. to do a
HA-router/vpn-gateway with heartbeat. We need /var/lib/heartbeat
writable and synced on shutdown. To achieve this we set
VOYAGE_SYNC_DIRS="var/lib/heartbeat"
in /etc/default/voyage-util.
Works great.
