Does the read-only-database in zope.conf really work and what does it really do? Does it turn of all writing to the filesystem or just the main Data.fs?
As far as read-only-database goes it doesn't see to work, so I have submitted it to the Zope Collector. I found that setting read-only to true in the filestorage group in the zodb_db declaration did do the job. A warning to anybody that want to use this is that some third-party products do write to the ZODB at start up which will halt the start up if the read-only flag is set. (For instance PlacelessTranslationService and Formulator.) //Johan <zodb_db main> # Main FileStorage database <filestorage> path $INSTANCE/var/Data.fs read-only True </filestorage> mount-point / </zodb_db>
