Q4. I think I remember seeing a post about the Zope database being a single large file posing problems with the Linux filesystem.. or was that the windows filesystem.. if so then that could limit Zope's potential in a commercial production enviroment, surely ?? If this is true what have people done to try and get around this, ie archiving objects (however that could occur) etc.. ?
IIRC that is a limit for the ext2 file system. There may be other Linux FSs that don't have this limit. Also I've heard ext3 is about to come wich I guess/hope won't have this limit anymore.
ext3's big deal right now is journalling support. ext2fs is _not_ the cause of the 2GB limit, as stated elsewhere, it is the 32bit VFS that is the issue, and there is the LFS patch to fix that. -- In flying I have learned that carelessness and overconfidence are usually far more dangerous than deliberately accepted risks. -- Wilbur Wright in a letter to his father, September 1900
