[Zope-dev] Help! Getting there, I hope ...

[Kris Adcock]

Right, many thanks to those who have offered advice. I'm conscious that as
I've drifted from a coding topic then I'm probably in the wrong mailing list,
but everyone has been very patient up to now and I'm hoping that a fix is in
sight! :)

I have done a backup of the Dats.fs file (took three days!). I have used
fsdump and fstest to produce listings about my Data.fs file - fsdump produced
a 2.67GB textfile! I have tracked down the first entry that I believe begins
all the deletes:

tid=0367c03fc4325022 time=2006-08-26 08:31:45.983563 offset=749481328632
 user= admin description=/library/reference/manage_delObjects
 
If I'm right ... does that mean if I trim the Data.fs file to 749481328632
bytes long and start Zope off again, that the files should be restored? If
so, does anyone know of a good way of trimming such a large binary file down
to a specific size? I'm using Suse Linux as a server.

Cheers, and thanks again,

Kris.
