1. When people using your site don't need to write to the ZODB to use the site (it sounds like they do in your case)
The users themselves do not write, but periodically an External Method receives email via xml and parses it into a bunch of new Zope objects. Would this cause trouble with Versions?
2. You don't use mounted storages. In particular, Core Session Tracking and Version objects seem to have quite a bad time of it when played with together, but it's understandable when you think about how CST works.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by mounted storage. The site makes use of LocalFS--is this the kind of thing you are talking about?
I find versions are generally useful when updating brochurewear (DTML Methods and Dcouments) but are limited elsewhere. It's a shame you can't use them with WebDAV (guessing here, somebody tell me I'm wrong ;-) or FTP without major hackory :-S
I'm curious how Versions failed for you when using mounted storage, etc. Were you unable to roll back changes? Were changes you made lost? Was your database corrupted? -- Ed Goppelt
