Just an idea, without having followed FileStorage's history: Has spreading the file storage across multiple files been considered? Suppose FileStorage didn't put everything into one big file which has to be rewritten from scratch during packing. Since transactions are simply appended to that big file it should be possible to store each transaction in its own small file. Incremental packing might then be possible by conflating the oldest n files into one, for some sufficiently small n. -- Thomas _______________________________________________ For more information about ZODB, see the ZODB Wiki: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/ ZODB-Dev mailing list - ZODB-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zodb-dev
