LFS = Large File Support Python 2.2 includes this automatically if the platform supports it. For Python 2.1 it must be enabled explicitely. To check if it works for you, locate and execute test_largefile.py I have run the following script python /usr/local/zope2/Zope-2.6.1/lib/python2.1/test/test_largefile.py And I have packed the ZODB Database which I will do regularly . I am aware that Zope keeps track of each change on the O/S hard disk and processes utilise the O/S hard disk and regularly used Zope objects are cached and thus I have increased my cache from 400 to 8000 and now havd support for LFS . My FileStorage didn't exceed 2G and I still didn't establish why I recieved *zdaemon SIGXFSZ!* *error . "Error(200) zdaemon process 859 terminated by signal SIGXFSZ(25)" *I did notice that in my *var directory *had to many to mention Data.fs.tr328375 and loads more numbered DatA.fs.tr files. I am led to beleieve that only thess should be in this directory and all Zope Content is stored in Data.fs File. Data.fs Data.fs.index Data.fs.old Data.fs.tmp pcgi.pid Z2.log Data.fs.in Data.fs.lock gadfly pcgi.soc Z2.pid NB - I am slowly gettting into administering Zope CMS . I am now looking at python to get a better understanding So thanx for your help .
