[Zope] Zope database file grows when no one is modifying it

[Thomas Bennett]

Well first, is it actually Data.fs that you see growing or are you just seeing 
less disk space from a reporting tool, you just said the "Zope site has 
filled up".  If it is not Data.fs then look at the size of your logs, often, 
and which one is growing fastest and how big is it.  Also, do you have an 
external service that connects to your Zope site to upload any kind of data?  
I've had this happen with a video camera that I had ftp-ing a jpeg every 10 
seconds to the server, it didn't take long to fill up the undo list so fast 
that Zope stopped serving because Zope couldn't add to the log file, thank 
goodness for datafspack.py (I think that was the name of it).

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.  As videos could be 25 pictures 
per second and might last several minutes, how many words is that?
