Small confusion here: "ZODB" is a higher-level abstraction than "FileStorage"; it is quite feasible to have one or more storages inside your Zope which are "packless" / "undo-less", and which then have the space efficiencies you are looking for (often at a non-trivial time cost).
Is where anyway to pack an ExternalMount without having to unmount it first? Could it be setup to do inside Zope?
I'm unsure about this.
How does DC handle this on zope.org (I believe the wikis are on a ExternalMount, if I'm not mistaken)
We never pack the wikis storage: that difference in policy is actually the reason we moved wikis to a separate storage in the first place. The other thing about the zope.org storages is that they are all served by a ZEO storage server; hence, I think it would be feasible to create an additional ZEO client, which used the main site's "sub-storage" as its own main storage; one would then be able to pack it (I think), while leaving the main site running (but more slowly during the pack).
