It might be possible, note that it would have the same limitations as du: it would 'wake up' (activate from the Object Store) all objects to guage their size, and then there is the question of previous object versions, should you consider the size of previous versions in the Object Database?
Interesting questions. I've been thinking more on the side of the ISP hosting Zope sites. It's not a question if the site takes 20.0 or 20.1MB, but it's a difference if it's 20MB or 160MB.
Previous Versions should probably not count, as they disappear when the database is packed, right?
Yep. Of course, this is quickly solved by making 'accumlate previous vesions' an option. Someone might want to know the absolute total of all of their object, including previous versions. Taking this discusion a level further, it might even be nice to be able to just 'pack' a subfolder, so someone who has reached their quota can free up some space by cleaning out older versions. Of couse, a more privledged user could override that by packing 'above' their folder. -Michel
