Q4. I think I remember seeing a post about the Zope database being a single large file posing problems with the Linux filesystem.. or was that the windows filesystem.. if so then that could limit Zope's potential in a commercial production enviroment, surely ?? If this is true what have people done to try and get around this, ie archiving objects (however that could occur) etc.. ?
Zope stores its objects in one file. Linux on 32 bit systems has a 2GB file size limiation.
AFAIK, linux on 64bit systems are also limited to 2GB. but you can always switch to e.g. free-bsd if you need bigger files. free-bsd is as free as linux, runs python and zope, and supports files up to a size of, er, some tera-bytes... thilo -- mezger@innominate.de innominate AG networking people fon: +49.30.308806-11 fax: -77 web: http://innominate.de pgp: /pgp/tm
