Yes. Exactly the log issue.

After some thinking, I think I'll just drop this patch.
Because even if I 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.
