Hmm, "Missing doc string" says you are trying to talk to what should be an unpublishable method. Is 'SIS/JSwift' likely to be the name of a wiki page? Have you perhaps upgraded Zope recently? Also, what version of the ZWiki product are you using?

So, it appears i've got a corrupted Zope. aside from rescuing a Data.fs from backup, how does one go about fixing such a problem? or is there no hope?

As Chris pointed out, 'lib/python/ZODB/fsrecover.py' is the most likely way to fix this. $ cd $ZOPE_HOME/lib/python $ python ZODB/fsrecover.py $INSTANCE_HOME/var/Data.fs Of course, you make a backup of the (presumably) corrupt file, first.

Also, is this common? I confess this makes me very nervous about relying on Zope. we've been using the ZWiki stuff pretty heavily, and this will givethe anti-OpenSource crowd some useful ammo.

Not common; Chris noted one of the more likely causes (NFS interfering with the storage's ability to perform reliable writes). Tres. -- =============================================================== Tres Seaver tseaver@digicool.com Digital Creations "Zope Dealers" http://www.zope.org
