Has anyone done something about the 2GB datafile limit as found on Linux? (Using multiple Data.fs?)
Alas, this is a file system limit, and while we've got some ideas about how to join multiple Data.fs databases together it's not been implemented yet---customer requirements, ya' know. You could always move to an OS which supports larger file systems (since Python on Alpha for example supports 64bit FS support). Or you could do something heretical and store the actual
ReiserFS (http://devlinux.com/namesys/) has 64-bit file support on Intel. It's also faster than ext2fs (btree-based).
file on the file system as an <oid>.storage or something. This shouldn't be hard to do with ZClasses. This would keep the meta-data in Zope, but let you at least use a 2Gb file store (or more depending oh nhow you sorted this).
