Ai, NFS! There is a known no-no about using NFS for Data.fs storage, it leads to data corruptions. Zope and NFS do not mix. Huch, why that?
I use Data.fs (occasionally) over NFS and did not yet have had problems. And appending to a file should work over NFS. Locking may be a bit more problematic, but this is not an issue provided I ensure that only on Zope process runs at a time.
I don't know the details, but IIRC there are bugs and general design problems that make NFS and Zope clash. Corruption is a matter of time, we discourage people using it. Search the mailinglist archives or wait for someone else to back me up on this :). -- Martijn Pieters | Software Engineer mailto:mj@digicool.com | Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com/ | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org/ | ZopeStudio: http://www.zope.org/Products/ZopeStudio -----------------------------------------------------
