Re: [Zope] Data.fs Windows to Linux?
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? My guess would be that the permissions have got screwed up when you copied the Data.fs back. If you post a proper traceback from event.log showing exactly what the error is then we should be able to give you better help with this.

RE: [Zope] Data.fs Windows to Linux?
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.

If you are using a cmf based product (like plone) you must check if the skin path stored in the portal skins are still ok. In my time they where stored as an absolute path wit C:\ and /home/zope.. on windows/linux which had to be fixed (there is a script on zope labs which can do that for you). But maybe this is not necessary anymore.
