[Zope] Packing database when quote is running out ...

[Heimo Laukkanen]

Hi,

I just stumbled into a situation where I noticed that our Data.fs had 
grown into huge blob and space was running out of that drive. I first 
tried to pack normally, but that did not work since packing from control 
panel allways tried to create a backup of the packed database. And there 
  was not enough space left.

My saviour was Chris McDonough whose script I found in one email - on 
how to pack database out of Zope. So I shutdown Zope for a while and 
packed the database - moved the Data.fs.old into some other drive and 
continued to live my life happy.

Lesson learned:

Put packing the database into cron ,-)
