This usually means that you moved or deleted your storage file
while ZEO was running.

Under *nix, processes that have a file open when it is moved or deleted
continue to operate on this file and not a potentially new file
at the original place.
However, a newly started process will the the new state and use
such a new file.


If you are lucky, the storage file was moved and you still
know the moved to location. Then, you find all your current state
in this file. Otherwise, your chances are bad....
