Shane This would be very helpfull to share. One of the reasons I tried the Berkeley Database was because I kept blowing this 2Gb limit. Prehaps if this was released I could finally finish the zope mail archives. :-) Cheers -Andy

I did do a How-to as well http://www.zope.org/Members/andym/2gig
Not long ago I created a wrapper around File objects which automatically splits the file before it reached a predefined limit. It could handle any number of partitioned file segements. I tried it with FileStorage and even integrated it in. That's how we were able to find and fix some arithmetic errors that occurred in FileStorage when reaching the 2GB barrier. If there's interest in the community I can release the code (in fact, there is no dependency on Zope and it's pretty fast.)
OTOH, I can verify there are production sites that have succesfully reached around 10 GB in Data.fs size.

Thank you everyone for your help. I truncated the file and restarted Zope successfully. I had a brief period of problems when I forgot use binary mode for truncating the file - duh. Anyway, I am running 2.2.1 and it doesnt work with a 2gb file. I didnt analyse where the problem lies, however I do believe its a python issue.

Are you running Zope 2.2.1 or later? There were pointer arithmetic errors that occurred on earlier versions, even with operating systems that support >2 GB files.
So on W2K, Zope can have >2GB databases? I'd really like to hear if you get it to work Andy (or if anyone else did.)
