Thanks Bakhtiar, That's what I was hoping, and I wanted some confirmation from those who've done it. I just did as you indicated - deleted Data.fs.pack, then ran the pack again. It completed successfully. regards, John S. Bakhtiar A Hamid wrote:

Hello,

This is for

Zope 2.9.8-final, python 2.4.4, linux2 (debian) (installed by the Plone 2.5.5 installer if that matters, and using zeoserver)

I have a ZODB pack operation started via the ZMI control panel that has failed to complete. It appears to be from a disk space issue (traceback below).

The zope instance is still working fine on the pre-pack ZODB, and, there is a Data.fs.pack file sitting in ../zeocluster/server/var which hasn't been modified in the last ten hours.

Hi

we've had the same issue (on an old setup with limited disk space) and removing Data.fs.pack should suffice.

We just repack after deleting.

you can copy Data.fs if you want to.

I need to know how to deal with this situation safely - how to abort and/or safely re-start the pack (the disk space issue has been dealt with). Some questions that have come to mind are: Is it safe to just restart zope? Will that clear the stalled pack operation automagically? Will I need to do something manually with the Data.fs.pack file?

Any assistance appreciated...! thanks, John S.
