Currently, Zope 1 uses a single file to store its data. That means that it is subject to the ext2 fs limit of 2gb on 32 bit systems. On an alpha, no such limit (ok, there is, but its on the order of 8 million terabytes),
Um. Are you saying that Alpha-based Linux systems write their filesystems in a 64-bit way that 32-bit x86-based systems can't read? I don't think this is true: I'm under the impression that if a disk is formatted ext2 than any Linux system, of whatever architecture, can read and write it, implying that the limitations are cross-platform too. Bear in mind also that Zope runs on platforms other than Linux... -- __ \/ o\ paul@hedonism.demon.co.uk http://www.hedonism.demon.co.uk/paul/ \ / /\__/ Paul Crowley Upgrade your legacy NT machines to Linux /~\
