Hi all, Does anyone know how to determine the disk space usage for all the Zope objects in a particular folder (and in its subfolders, etc.)? I'd like an easy way to find out / let my virtual hosting clients know how much disk space they're using. Obviously, I could recursively add up the sizes of all the images within a folder and its subfolders, and I could go a step further and add up the lengths of any text contents in contained DTML documents and methods, then property values ... then the names of custom properties ... but it just seems like there should be a better way. I don't remember coming across anything like this, though. I tried searches on the Zope site and the Zope cookbook site (as well as this list's archives), but as you know, it's hard finding something when you don't know what it's called... I sent this question to the iMeme users' list and got two pretty good suggestions: 1) Use a product called QuotaFolder, which, based on what I've read about it, adds a get_size() method to various Zope base classes, then calls that method on all objects contained in a folder. This is pretty good (thank you for creating, ivo), but it admittedly doesn't take into account revisions, properties, etc. Also, it makes me wonder whether there's already a more thorough equivalent to "get_size()" already in Zope, that I could call. There should be, shouldn't there? The final worry is that it might be difficult to integrate with my existing product, but this may not be an issue now that I think of it - I'll have to try it to find out. Anybody care to report experience with QuotaFolder? 2) Export the folder, then look at the size of the resulting file. This is something I might actually try (since I'm thinking of automatically backing up my virtual domains this way anyway), but it seems that there should still be a better way. So, how about it, zopistas? Is there a nice, clean way to find the amount of storage space consumed by all the objects within a particular folder? Is there a method to get the total storage used by any ObjectManagerItem-derived object? If not, is something in the works? Many thanks, AM Thanks, AM
