I have encountered a problem caused by packing Data.fs (pack done via ZMI - Control Panel - Database Management - main - Pack). After Data.fs is packed, the ZODBmount point for the zeo server is missing.
I have the following folder set-up:
Root |----Coz |---ZeoServer1
After the pack operation, folder 'ZeoServer1' is missing.
That would be a severe bug in "FileStorage" -- and it is almost unbelievable...
A mount point is nothing special for a "FileStorage". It is treated like any other object.
What you tell us is that a reachable object can be discarded by packing. As a mount point is nothing special, it could happen with any object.
But it is now years back that we got the last packing problem report.
I can reproduce the behaviour very easily... after I pack and the 'ZeoServer1' folder disappears i do the following: - stop zope - delete Data.fs - rename Data.fs.old to Data.fs - start zope And the ZeoServer1 folder is back. I then pack zope and the ZeoServer1 folder disappears again. I can do this again and again and again. Jonathan
