Sounds like subtransactions are being committed or some other use of tempfile. Install "lsof" on your server to view a table of your file descriptors, and you should be able to see the open files, which you can grep through to find what you want (i.e. grep for Zope's pid).

Does it create a named file that we'd be able to watch throughout certain operations? Basically, we're noticing our var directory (which is a partition on our server) bloat and then shrink, and we suspect it's some sort of temp file that's being created. It appears to be filling up entirely at times. - Chris cmuldrow@fredericksburg.com _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
