Hi,

Re-generating applications' cache every time the system is rebooted is not a
very efficient process for an embedded device. Usually, the cache directory is
used by applications to store data resulting from time consmuming I/O or
calculation. So, this patchset will take out /var/cache from tmpfs.

What if you have a READONLY rootfs? This patch will "break" those devices I think.



Thanks,
Laurentiu
