ZEO and MountedStorage: Access DENIED!
Pardon the lawnmower man reference, but ZEO and MountedStorage do _not_ work together. I just tried, so this is just an initial report. What happens, is htat the local ZEO Client wil try to mount the additional .fs-es on the local system, which will fail.

OK, I know I am replying to myself.... I have been thinking, and I think I have got a good idea. So I figured I woudl toss it out for commentary. What we need now is a Mountable ZSS Product. This would be kind of a MountedStorage meets ZEO breed, where you would specify the ZSS host/port combo, and it could act like a mounted FileStorage, except it would talk to a ZSS. Whaddya think? Any educated guesses as to the difficulty? Bill -- Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are easy to annoy, and have the root password.

It would be a simple, intermediate-level project. MountPoint is a base class. You're supposed to provide the implementation of just one method. That method is supposed to return a DB object. So your product would be just like Anthony's, except it would accept host and port parameters and return a DB derived from a ClientStorage object. Shane

Cool. Perhaps if I get time this weekend, I'll hack a quick version up. :) -- Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are easy to annoy, and have the root password.
