Does anybody know if this is a limitation of the kernel or the FS? And is it going to be fixed in the foreseeable future?
It is a limitation of the FS, and it will be fixed but I do not know when. There are paches available though. If you do a search on the Zope list I think someone mentioned the patches.
throughout the country, and pass all requests for files to an object that queries the servers for their individual loads at the moment. Any thoughts on how to implement this in an elegant way using Zope/Python?
Just an idea. Use straight ZServer/ZPublisher for high performance. Then create an object that publishes the relevant info on a different port. You can the query each server for its load. I have tried something similar some time ago, but to monitor filesystem usage and the responces were very fast. Pavlos
