No a little misunderstading has happened here :-)

First I truncated the Data.fs file from 2.1 something GB to 2 GB and
then restarted Zope ... and then I packed the database ...

I know it was a big clean up but I didn't pay any attention to the pack
functionality untill today :-((

Now I need to see if we can start Zope with our non-truncated Data.fs
file and pack that one - because we have lost some data from wedneysday
untill friday ... But it is better to only have lost 2 days of work
instead of a couple of weeks ...
