Description Chen Qi 2013-07-22 02:36:31 UTC 
Errors appear at system startup if /www/logs is not writable.

Besides, I think it makes sense to make /www directory writable at runtime.

Even if we move the log location to /var/log/xxx, it will not make the situation any better, as the /www directory is still not writable.

So I think, at this point, we should not do too much.
I'll assume that if the user is using a read-only rootfs and his system is holding a website, maybe he'll just mount some writable media to /www.
