[Zope] 2GB and NTFS

[Jens Vagelpohl]

that can't have been much of a guru. Data.fs is normally just limited to=20=

what the host computer hardware and OS can handle in terms of file sizes=20=

*if* the python that runs zope is compiled with large file support.

i have run zope with 9 GB Data.fs files and there was not a problem. =
this=20
was on a large file-enabled linux system.

i can't speak for windoze... i don't use it :)
