[Zope] Large data.fs

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

$INSTANCE_HOME/var/Data.fs is your Zope object database.  Don't purge it,
whatever you do!

Pack the Database in Zope's Control_Panel/Database to get rid of stale
revisions of transactions since past.  This should be a regular occurance
for you (i.e. have a rule for doing this, like: pack the database to remove
previous revisions of objects over 3 days old).

200M is really not that large comparitively.  If you pack it, though, you
are quite likely to see a big improvement.

My data.fs file seems rather large (200M+). Two questions:

1. What does it contain?
2. Can it be purged/compacted?

Thanks in advance

Ian
