Hi all, I've recently seen a corruption error in a FileStorage Zope installation. I've been able to recover all my data with no problems, but this causes some doubts to me. I'm working in a bigger application that will need databases of about 5-10 Gb. I prefer a slower and secure storage than a faster and more unsecure one. Reading this ZODB Storages comparisson http://cvs.zope.org/ZODB3/Doc/storages.html?rev=1.5 it seems that DirectoryStorage is what I need. Any experiences about that ? Have anybody had some problem using DirectoryStorage over reiserfs ? Can I put my customers data there and sleep quiet :-) ? Thanks in advance Santi Camps

I've got about 3 GB of data, had some corruption issues with FileStorage at various times (buggy pack operations maybe). I've been running DirectoryStorage on reiserfs since August 2003 with no apparent problems. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com

We've used DirectoryStorage on UFS+softupdates for a year now, and have 10+ GB on it. Works great. I think reisferfs is what Toby recommends for it, so you should be OK. You can mitigate the slower speed somewhat by using ZEO and a persistent ZEO client cache. -Matt -- Matt Hamilton matth@netsight.co.uk Netsight Internet Solutions, Ltd.
