My impression is that FileStorage implements a 32-bit id-type-thingy somewhere (look at ZODB docs, I think there is something about this somewhere), which limits it (in addition to the Linux kernel ext2 fs limit), to < 2GB. With 7.5 GB, I'd use a more advanced storage like the new - well, not quite released ;) - Berkeley (libdb3 based) storages, though I haven't tried anything like that myself...
FileStorage does *not* have a 2GB limit. The only 2GB limit is the old Linux filesystem limit. I know this, because I've had >2GB Data.fs files on FreeBSD. --RDM
