Hello all, Attached you can find the code for a preliminary ZODB storage manager which is designed to take adventage of the reiserfs filesystem (http://devlinux.com/namesys). While it is usable on other filesystems too, the performance will decrease as the number of objects in your database increases. Comments: 1. This is as alpha as it can be. While it is usable to do some testing on a spare Zope, you must be insane to even try to use this on a production system. 2. A generic DirectoryStorage is comming soon, with the diference being splitting files by directory (and, of course, being slower than the reiserfs version). 3. As you can see in the source, I/O errors in critical points can corrupt the storage. 4. It currently does not support versioning and undo. I'm working first on getting it stable and fast, and then add these features. Feedback is not only welcome, but wanted :) -Petru
