When I understand this right, then this is done automatically 
when the "FileStorage" is opened.

I refer to a question in the mailing list: Someone reported
many files with strange extensions in his "var" folder.
A ZODB developer (Jeremy?) replied they were incomplete
transaction records found when the storage was opened.
