Hi all I'm attempting to diagnose a Data.fs that might be wonky. I'm sending a record of my attempt to the list in the hope that other people are better at interpreting the results than I am. It was written by this Zope: $ cat ./lib/python/version.txt Zope 2.4.3 (binary release, python 2.1, linux2-x86) The fsrecover.py I'm using comes from: Zope 2.5.1b1 (source release, python 2.1, linux2) I get 710849 errors like this: __main__.ErrorFound: invalid status, ^@, at 179898912 __main__.ErrorFound: invalid status, ^@, at 179898995 2068 errors like this: __main__.ErrorFound: bad transaction length at 231384331 57 errors like this: exceptions.SystemError: Failed to import class Trigger from module Products.ZPatterns.SkinScript.Components 39 errors like this: __main__.ErrorFound: invalid status, é, at 33731550 with status values such as é, ^R, <, ç, ê, ... 3 errors like this: ZODB.POSException.ConflictError: ('\x03C\x96\xf4\xeb\xb3\xe1\x00', '\x03C\x04\xb0\xf8\xa2\xe7\xb3') 2 errors like this: exceptions.KeyError: ^@^@^@^@^@^C0\ 2 errors like this: exceptions.ImportError: cannot import name NullProvider 1 error like this: exceptions.ImportError: cannot import name Factory and fsrecover finishes with the message: 139059006 bytes removed during recovery Before: 242946201 Apr 9 16:05 Data.fs After: 103887195 May 1 14:39 Data.fs.fsrecover I can start a Zope on the "recovered" Data.fs without problems, and access it through a browser. It works fine, until I try to access certain ZClasses stored on Racks (eg. 'License' instances raise KeyErrors, 'Customer' instances are fine). Then I get KeyErrors, with this in the log: ------ 2002-05-01T13:14:11 ERROR(200) ZODB Couldn't load state for '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x03O\xf8' Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/zope/2-4-3/lib/python/ZODB/Connection.py, line 519, in setstate File /usr/local/zope/2-4-3_for_diepdink/lib/python/ZODB/FileStorage.py, line 588, in load (Object: /home/httpd/zope-instances/jean/creme.rel-0_9_0-branch/var/Data.fs) File /usr/local/zope/2-4-3_for_diepdink/lib/python/ZODB/FileStorage.py, line 564, in _load (Object: /home/httpd/zope-instances/jean/creme.rel-0_9_0-branch/var/Data.fs) KeyError: Oø ------ For the record, during startup, Zope warns: WARNING: Python C API version mismatch for module DynPersist: This Python has API version 1010, module DynPersist has version 1007.
