Zope database file grows when no one is modifying it
I am administering a Zope/CMF site running Zope 2.6.4 with python 2.2.3. We have been running low on space and have not been able to clean out the database of old edits. We are moving other sites over to a new server and were able to free up about 3GB. Unfortunately, our main Zope site has filled up most of that space quite rapidly. We haven't edited it much so it is unclear why it is growing so quickly. What might be amiss? Thanks! Jamie

The ZODB does not fill up by itself. Check your undo logs for recent transactions. -aj

You may have code that writes to the ZODB on access, not just when someone edits content explicitly. Check the undo log in the ZMI and/or enable trace logging to trace such code. -- Martijn Pieters
Well first, is it actually Data.fs that you see growing or are you just seeing less disk space from a reporting tool, you just said the "Zope site has filled up". If it is not Data.fs then look at the size of your logs, often, and which one is growing fastest and how big is it. Also, do you have an external service that connects to your Zope site to upload any kind of data? I've had this happen with a video camera that I had ftp-ing a jpeg every 10 seconds to the server, it didn't take long to fill up the undo list so fast that Zope stopped serving because Zope couldn't add to the log file, thank goodness for datafspack.py (I think that was the name of it).
