Well it had to happen. Zope running with data and Im parusing the file structure. Not too smart. Restarting zope and of couse it tells me the data.fs is corrupt. Was wondering if there is any way to restore it as there is some rather important data there. Panic has not set in yet but by tomorrow....:( Any suggestions would be really helpfull at this point and very much appreciated. Chris H.
