I have foolishly allowed my database to grow so large that I have no room to pack it. Is there any way that I could make it so that Data.fs.old gets populated on a separate drive or over the network?
Thanks for any advice as I approach this "data storage cliff!"
copy your zope var folder to another machine and then make it as network share, then pack it.

This should be possible by a link i.e. into a NFS network share
i.e.:
stop zope instance
mkdir /myzopeinstance/share mount -t nfs 1.2.3.4:/myshare/ /myzopeinstance/share chmod 777 /myzopeinstance/share #(or give your zope instance user write access to that dir) mv /myzopeinstance/share/Data.fs.old /myzopeinstance/share/ ln -s /myzopeinstance/share/Data.fs /myzopeinstance/var/Data.fs.old
start zope instance
Alternatively you can put your whole /myzopeinstance/var onto a NFS share temporarily (could be to slowly for production) and move it back when shrinked.
