that can't have been much of a guru. Data.fs is normally just limited to what the host computer hardware and OS can handle in terms of file sizes *if* the python that runs zope is compiled with large file support. i have run zope with 9 GB Data.fs files and there was not a problem. this was on a large file-enabled linux system. i can't speak for windoze... i don't use it :) jens On Tuesday, January 29, 2002, at 07:48 , e-Musty wrote:
I was told by a Zope guru that the upper limit on the size of Data.fs is 2GB on all platform... What's then?

It seems that Zope on W2K with NTFS has a 2GB limit for data.fs.
I heard that NTFS can handle files up to 4TB. Searching the archives I found:
"The problem with file size is not in Zope, but something to do with Windows using a 32 bit integer for file size, pegging the limit at 2 gigs. Im not sure how some people solve this, but its a deep python / windows problem that will not be solved any day soon. "
Is it possible to get a data.fs bigger than 2GB on W2K with NTFS?
Has someone tried this solution? http://www.zope.org/Members/hathawsh/PartitionedFileStorage
