[Zope] [Warning] Strange mountpoint behaviour

[Dieter Maurer]

I strugged today with a strange mounting problem:

  A colleague wanted to mount a storage under path "a"
  which has been formerly created while mounted under
  a path "b". Result: unless "a" and "b" are equal,
  the mounted object under "a" was empty.

The analysis lead to

    http://collector.zope.org/Zope/1487


The mount-point documentation in "Zope/Startup/zopeschema.xml"
is incomplete. The implemented behaviour unintuitive.

You want to use "mount-point" specifications of the form
"virtual_path:real_path" and not "path" (as the documentation suggests).
