help! when i'm running zope and zeo, data.fs packing doesn't work. i can see in the process list that it does nothing. it is only when i change the custom_db.py to disable zeo and restart zope that packing works again. is there a way that i can pack the data.fs while zeo and zope is running? and how do i configure zope to run and use "/usr/local/zope/var/data.fs" as its database and not "ZEO Storage" which is in the same server? essentially they use the same database, however, zope in that same server becomes a client that i think zeo doesn't allow it to pack the database. please help! thanks.
