[Zope] all work lost?

[Dennis Allison]

Garhard,

You may find it helpful to examine Data.fs with some of the utility tools
in $INSTANCE_HOME/utilities and $INSTANCE_HOME/lib/python/ZODB.

You need to know whether the Data.fs was recreated or modified.  Looking
at the transactions will help.  If it was modified, and undoing the
transactions does not work, you can use the transaction log to locate the
size of the Data.fs immediately prior to the disaster.  If you truncate
the Data.fs at that point, later transactions will be removed.  This
assumes, of course, that you have not compacted the Data.fs in the
interim.

One other thing -- if you have compacted the Data.fs recently, Data.fs.old
contains a copy of the database before compaction.
