[Zope] The immortal POSKeyError

[David Hassalevris]

George,

Maybe export all but the bad directory.  Then import back into a fresh
data.fs.
I did this once due to necessity and it worked out fine.

Naturally if the bad folder represents alot of work and cannot be reproduced
than thats a hit you will may to take.

hi

I found an entire hierarchy had gone POSKeyError on me today, and the
bad folder hierarchy resists deletion. below is a transcript of the
session,

BadFolder is the first inaccessible folder. it has a lot of peer folder
that i don't want to lose.

This is Zope 2.7.0 and Python 2.3.3. The ZODB is about 1.5GB and some
parts of it have been upgraded over time from as early as zope 2.4.x.

fsrecover.py reports zero bytes removed.

Since i can't delete it i am uncertain as to what to try next.

thanks in advance for any suggestions.
