The only thing I can think of which matches your symptoms is this. Is it possible you have misconfigured this new Zope 2.8 instance, and it's trying to use direct access to the Data.fs via FileStorage, instead of contacting zeo?
I feel like a guy who brought the lawn mower in for repair, and they tell you 'its got no gas in it'. That was it of course, thanks for the catch. I normally diff-merge my zope.conf with each successive version, to pick up any new directives, comments, etc. I guess I forgot the zodb section at the tail end when moving from 2.7 to 2.8. It might be helpful to have the list of mounted databases (and thus ZEO vs. FS distinction) in the control panel summary, that seems like useful configuration summary information. Thanks again, and sorry to take up list traffic with a simple configuration mistake.
