For all who are interested in breaking database size barriers without moving to Oracle or Berkeley Storage, here's something to try out.
http://www.zope.org/Members/hathawsh/PartitionedFileStorage
I *highly* recommend you back up Data.fs before installing.
What is known to work: - Reads and writes of logical files greater than 3 GB on versions of Linux that support only 2 GB files. - Undo and packing. - Fast random reads and writes. - Using simple binary concatenation to move back to a standard single file. - Using PartitionedFile completely independent of Zope or ZODB.
What has not been tested, but will very likely work: - Tranalyzer. - Putting the partitions on different physical devices. (Poor man's RAID :-) )
What couldn't be tested by my limited resources: - Platforms other than Linux. - Running this on a busy Zope site. (No, www.zope.org is not running PartitionedFileStorage. :-) )
BTW to all in the U.S., Happy Thanksgiving!
Shane
