I should note that DirectoryStorage (http://dirstorage.sf.net) has excellent replication support which make things like moving live Zope instances from one partition to another one w/o lots of downtime almost trivial.
It's also f'ing slow and doesn't scale ;-)
Translation: In our experience, large databases with a lot of objects can lead to very slow operations, such as packing and backing up the data. This might be improved by using a file system designed for many small files, but on ext3 the whole thing became a terrible dog. This slowness also appears when doing automated buildouts which create lots of objects. Even simple stuff like just instantiating a Plone portal from the ZMI was noticeably slower. jens -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (Darwin) iD8DBQFE9ZyQRAx5nvEhZLIRAtDYAKCl83nHzOHCuqpfCAQ7xuY5a1nG0QCgtUG0 fPg4mYLK4ILq9e/yERDRNbs= =A5c2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
