I don't know how I missed this in the past, but I discovered that one 
difference between the RPM and tarball installs is that the RPM installs 
a weekly cron job to run zeopack.  I learned this when I saw that on a 
problem zenoss server, several weeks worth of zeopack jobs were still 
trying to run.  The Data.fs file had grown to 22GB on that system.

I shut down all but zeoctl and zopectl, and ran the zeopack manually; after 
about 1/2 hour the resulting Data.fs was down to 47MB.  However, this morning 
I see that it's back up to 528MB.  Why does this file grow so quickly?

Perhaps zeopack should be run nightly instead?  There is also a recommendation 
in the official Zope docs against packing to the current instance; the risk 
is that active transactions may be clobbered.
