[Zope] Re: data file keeps growing

[Declan Shanaghy]

No i dont have any sort of member tracking code.

I already ran that script and i know my system cannot
handle large files.

I dont need to handle large files. i need to find out
what is being written into the MemberData.fs file.

Can i monitor the data being written into the file or
anything?
