Hi all,
There was some discussion. I was now thinking to use unionfs/aufs to
hold all modified files to a copy-on-write (/cow) directory, then have a
manally script that sync cow back to flash disk. Is it possible and are
there any recipe for this?
Regards,
Punky

I also noticed when using shorewall it did slow down the throughput of
the data.
I can get double the amount without shorewall, the test was done on a
old version of shorewall and voyage and I have not retested recently.

*Subject:* [Voyage-linux] Shorewall Read Only /var/lib/shorewall/ problem
Hi,
I am trying to get shorewall running and whilst it installs from
apt-get fine, i am having issues with the Read only file system.
Shorewall seems to write the compiled scripts into /var/lib/shorewall.
When i run remountrw there is no problem, however with remountro
hitting 'shorewall start' in the shell gives a whole raft of errors:
Compiling...

cp: cannot remove `/var/lib/shorewall/.restore': Read-only file system
done.
Is there any way that this /var/lib/shorewall/ directory can be made
rw? Or perhaps even plain old ramdisk is ok, but consist of a default
set of files upon boot? Would appreciate insights if the two options
above are possible.
The other option is for me to change the init.d/shorewall scripts to
remountrw and remountro around the start and stop parts, but i would
prefer the solution above and it would also help me learn about voyage
linux which rocks :)
Many thanks in advance,
Chris
