[Voyage-linux] 'ro' changes in version .5 onwards

[Voy User]

It looks like all those links I created to /rw/whatever
should now be created to /lib/init/rw. Am I correct?
Because even that tar command in /etc/init.d/voyage-sync which
moves stuff from /ro now moves it to /lib/init/rw
instead of /rw.
