Hi - I don't recall any mention of this sort of experience before so I thought I'd share it and would be interested in reactions. Yesterday around 18:30 (BST) two Linux boxes of mine which both run Zope re-booted - as they sit next to each other on the same electrical supply I've assuming there was some sort of spike. Neither are setup to re-start Zope services automatically - these are not production servers. They are also not backed up .... So I did the usual manual restart and, on one, got a bit of a shock. It went like this: 1. Login to box running RH 5.2 2. su 3. Start Zope 2.1.6 that has been running fine for months. 4. Open browser to check most recent stuff that I've developed looks OK - it's not there. 5. Go to management screen - newer folders are missing. 6. Go to Undo. Most recent transaction Apr 19. Uh-oh. 7. Decide to get out quick. Shutdown via CP. 8. Data.fs shown as last modified 6 June. 9. Copied Data.fs (having no regular back-ups) 10. Restarted Zope 11. Packed database (shrinks from 36MB to 9MB). 12. Breathe sigh of relief as missing folders re-appear. Is this normal, doctor?
