Hi to all, I run two instances of zope on a Sun sparc with Solaris 9. Data.fs of one instance is 2Gb big The actual problem is the lack of space on its partition => there is about 2 Gb of disk space left. One zope instance was running for 24 days and the 2Gb of disk space had been gone (although the Data.fs hadn't grown that much) Yesterday I made a copy on another server (as a backup) and restarted zope => it wouldn't start! So I removed all the extra files around Data.fs (that is all Data.fs.*), and retried to strart zope => then it finally started BUT: 1) the 2Gb that had gone during these 24 days came back => does Zope keep a temp file with a copy of Data.fs ? 2) the users sent me mail telling that they lost what they did for the 4 last days !!! => I thought Zope would gather all its temp (buffer) data into the Data.fs when it is asked to restart, does it do that or not ? What could I do to get back to the situation I was in before the restart (in terms of data => for my users) ? Should I try to restart with the removed Data.fs.* files (kept somewhere else) ? Since I used version 2.7.3 => I had problem with restart => I have had to remove the extra Data.fs.* files to manage a restart => But I hadn't lose data with that !!! Since version 2.7.3 was leaking I moved to 2.7.4, but I'm wondering if 2.7.4 has not another bug in storage? Thank you for your answers! serge here is my config: Zope Version (Zope 2.7.4-0, python 2.3.4, sunos5) Python Version 2.3.4 (#1, Nov 18 2004, 14:19:24) [GCC 3.3.2] System Platform sunos5 SOFTWARE_HOME /prd/data/Zope/var/zope2.7.4/lib/python ZOPE_HOME /prd/data/Zope/var/zope2.7.4 INSTANCE_HOME /prd/data/Zope/var/zope8080 CLIENT_HOME /prd/data/Zope/var/zope8080/var Network Services ZServer.HTTPServer.zhttp_server (Port: 8080) ZServer.FTPServer.FTPServer (Port: 8021) Process Id 979 (7) Running For 16 hours 51 min 21 sec
