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

[Jeff Ramin]

Hi folks.

I'm running voyage on an Alix board, using flash as the storage system.
I've successfully configured voyage and my app to run in ro mode by
editing /etc/default/voyage-util (I added the directories my app needs to
write to).

Everything is great, although I want to protect against losing data in
memory if the machine is not shut down cleanly. The scripts in /etc/init.d
do a great job of sync'ing data from memory to disk(flash) when the
machine is shut down.

I'm thinking about occasional syncs. Does this pose any problems w/
running apps actively writing to a tmpfs? What are the recommended
best practices for how to achieve this?

Thanks!
