Whoops. Sorry. Error log tells me it's a 'no space left on device' error:

I assume this means there's a max cache size set somewhere. There's plenty of room left on our fs (hundreds of GB) so Zope isn't being allowed to use it at the moment. I'm asuming this is a Zope rather than local filesystem issue, but maybe I'm wrong; if it is a Zope issue, how I can increase standard cache size? We're not using a cache manager, yet...
None of the above ;-) It's most likely that your temp directory is mounted on a small partition. Trying setting the envar TMPDIR to point at a directory on "a large" partition before starting Zope. That is, you're not running into a cache size problem, you're running into that Zope is creating a large temp file on a partition without enough space to hold it.
