[Voyage-linux] periodic sync'ing from tmpfs to flash

[Jeff Ramin]

Do I need to change anything in /etc/default/voyage-util, or any other
config file? I'm using the script below, but if I remove power (as opposed
to shutting down), when the system comes back up, the data that was
written when / was mounted as read-only has been lost.

Thanks.
