One option, if you are using Linux and able to use ReiserFS is to consider switching to DirectoryStorage instead of using FileStorage. This should be fairly scalable, but is likely a Linux-only solution for now. http://dirstorage.sf.net Unless you have very, very big objects, the file-size issue becomes a non-issue with this approach, and you don't have to worry about large-file support at all the various layers. Another option is just to compile python from source with LFS yourself (search Google for this), and use that python binary to run Zope from source. Yet a third option is to use Zope 2.6's binary install, which I believe has LFS support built-into its python. For LFS to work, you need a relatively new C library and Linux 2.4 kernel (though 2.2 kernels work fine on 64 bit platforms).

I got the message: Aiieee! 2365 exited with error code: 25 In my previous message: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/zope/message/105508 I was told to install a new version of linux and to compile python with large file support, thing that I did in my original installation: Suse 7.3, Zope 2.5.1 I didn't install Suse 8 because, as I read, 7.3 comes already with large file support. (Am I wrong?) Anyway, I just want to know how the people with large databases is handling this. (I mean without using LocalFS or similars) Thanks in advanced, Josef _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
