zope file system folder(severe problem)
Hello Zope, I am new to zope and I'm exploring different products an functions. A couple of days ago I tried to install a zope product called zope file system folder, on a zope 2.8.4 linux(Red Hat core 4) installation. What this attemt caused was a severe damage of the linux partition. The exact boot error message is this: JDB:Failed to read block at offset 7609 EXT3-fs:error loading journal I tried rescue mode but it whouldn't even let me mount the partition. Anyway I managed to save my work files using a windows utility (Fortunatly I have windows booting too.) and lost a day's work reinstalling and reconfiguring my linux. Could somebody please tell me why did that happen? I need the functionality of file sytem folder but I sure wouldn't risk installing it again!
Hi, Suggest firstup you read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html ...especially the bit about "Don't flag your question as “Urgent”, even if it is for you"... Giorgos Dimitriou wrote:

Where did you download it from? How are we supposed to help you if we don't know what software you used?

I'm pretty suprised about that.. I'd look elsewhere, like a hardware failure, to find the source of your problem...

I suspect you really want LocalFS... cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

Ok I'm sorry about the severe part. Giorgos Dimitriou wrote:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/fsfolder I just searched in www.zope.org for file system and it came out as a product. I don't think you can help me actually, I just re-installed everything

There is no hardware problem, I actually used the same partition to do my fresh installation.

Yes! this is what I want thanx. Anyway, I'm sure there is no hardware problem and everything happened after I tried to run the product. To be more specific after running it I lost a bunch of files in my home dir .bashrc etc. I thought I fixed it untill I had to reboot and then it happened. I can't imagine what went wrong apart from the product itself. cheers,
Chris

Yup, there's loads of other good stuff in there too ;-)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fsfolder I just searched in www.zope.org for file system and it came out as a product.
Okay, I don't think I'd choose to use software that's 2 years old and still marked as Alpha ;-)

Yup, but I doubt fsfolder caused the problem...

Well, I still have difficulties in believing that Zope will damage your filesystem, but I do not know that Product you mention. What I can see however, is that it is declared as "pre alpha" code - do you know what that means? If you running your Zope Instance with a dedicated User (like "zope" e.g.) on Linux I still cannot imagine how this Application, running with limited rights can damage your Partition.
