I've recently been testing a new setup with XFS (http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/1.0_release.html) and decided to try to bloat data.fs before using this system for production. The computer is set up with zope 2.3.3 installed from source (the old fashioned way, with everything in one directory), with a separate 18GB disk as /usr/local/zope. I uploaded a couple of files -- seawolf disk one ISO image (about 650MB) and SGI's XFS install ISO (about 300MB). Both from another computer via ZMI via a 10 baseT network. (interestingly both loaded up OK, but the seawolf image gave a client side 'page failed to load' error, while the other worked fine. So I suppose 600MB is the hairy edge of filesize you can upload via ZMI) Then proceeded to copy the two files and paste. First time worked fine, pushing data.fs to about 1.9GB. Second time, I copied all 4, which should push data.fs to about 4GB. It seemed to reach about 2.29GB (perhaps copying the first XFS ISO image), then gave this error: -------------------------- Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource.
