Hi!
I've been wondering what was the biggest database anyone has used with ZOPE? (I'm currently developing a ``file distribution'' server, in fact quite trivial, but it will have much data stored in it.)
The largest I've done is around 500Mb at this point, mostly very large files.
Has anyone done something about the 2GB datafile limit as found on Linux? (Using multiple Data.fs?)
Alas, this is a file system limit, and while we've got some ideas about how to join multiple Data.fs databases together it's not been implemented yet---customer requirements, ya' know. You could always move to an OS which supports larger file systems (since Python on Alpha for example supports 64bit FS support). Or you could do something heretical and store the actual file on the file system as an <oid>.storage or something. This shouldn't be hard to do with ZClasses. This would keep the meta-data in Zope, but let you at least use a 2Gb file store (or more depending oh nhow you sorted this).
