[Zope] Data.fs Windows to Linux?

[Pascal Peregrina]

I had a similar issue when playing with Data.fs files, and I found that it
was a write permission issue on the file.
Don't know if it can help you in that case.

I thought that I would back up my data.fs by copyting the entire Linux /var
directory to a Windows machine with spare disk space and then creating a ZIP
file on the Windows machine.

There was a problem on the Linux machine, so I figured there'd be no problem
by simply copying the data.fs (via a Samba share) back from Windows ->
Linux.

It seems that when Zope starts back up, it keeps attempting to deal with the
"alien" database and then shuts down.

The Same Database File Works Perfectly With A Windows Plone/Zope
Installation
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------
I installed a Windows version of Plone (with Zope of course) and that same
data.fs file works just fine in the Windows environment.

Questions:
------------
1) Am I without hope of ever running the database under Linux again?
2) What is the reason that the database goes from Linux -> Windows OK but
not in the other direction?
3) MOST IMPORTANT:
    Is there a technique I can use to tweak the database file or recover it
so that it is Linux-friendly?
