> 
> I *highly* recommend you back up Data.fs before installing.
> 
> What is known to work:
>   - Reads and writes of logical files greater than 3 GB on versions of
> Linux that support only 2 GB files.
>   - Undo and packing.
>   - Fast random reads and writes.
>   - Using simple binary concatenation to move back to a standard single
> file.
>   - Using PartitionedFile completely independent of Zope or ZODB.
> 
> What has not been tested, but will very likely work:
>   - Tranalyzer.
>   - Putting the partitions on different physical devices.  (Poor man's
> RAID :-) )
> 
> What couldn't be tested by my limited resources:
>   - Platforms other than Linux.
>   - Running this on a busy Zope site.  (No, www.zope.org is not running
> PartitionedFileStorage. :-) )
> 
> BTW to all in the U.S., Happy Thanksgiving!
