[mailto:zope-bounces+zope=benlast.com@zope.org]On Behalf Of Paul Winkler Zope only appends to Data.fs. (It has been mentioned that it is *possible* to twiddle stuff in the middle of a filestorage, but the core Zope code is not supposed to do this, and I've never heard an example of any add-on product that does so either.) Out of curiosity, what then prevents Data.fs growing without bound? Does it get truncated from the beginning? Even if it does only get appended to, I assume there's a race condition where cp may encounter Data.fs with half or a record written to it and thus copy an inconsistent file.
