Re: [Zope] Multiple zope instances using the same storage

a product I need to install that stores data in the ZODB.  This data is 
stored in one folder.

Now, I *think* I can simply mount this folder in each ZODB and serve the 
storage through a ZEO server - however I've never done this setup, so I 
want to make sure this makes sense and I'm not overlooking potential 
problems.

This should be possible -- though I expect that you can
use a single Data.fs, serve it with ZEO and mount it in each of
your Zope instances. There is little reason to have 4 identical
Data.fs once you have decided to use ZEO anywhere.

Thanks Dieter.  I agree with you.  This isn't my setup, so I would like 
to avoid having too much of an impact on their setup, but I'll bring it 
up with the client.

[Zope] Multiple zope instances using the same storage

This is a legacy setup that I'm not responsible for, so I'm trying to 
keep my footprint in this setup as small as possible.  Using Zope 2.7.9.

Thanks,
Mark
