[Zope] persistent sessions with ZEO not working

[Allen Schmidt Sr.]

What we did was create a Session.fs and added to the zope and zeo conf 
files. Then after restarting the zopes and zeo, in the ZMI, create a 
ZODB mount point and it should see the Session.fs and build the parts in 
the root of the ZMI that you need. Been a long time but I think those 
are the steps. That way the session data is its own data.fs file and is 
persistent across zopes and restarts, etc. The problem is that it IS a 
data.fs file and therefore an undoing storage. You will have to pack it 
the same as your main data file. Not a big deal for us as its not used 
much. Just pack back a couple days so you don't whip any session data 
that could be going on at that moment.

Anyone please chime in if I am missing something. Just taking a shot at 
an answer based on our set up.
Your mileage may vary.
