<pre wrap="">I think an NFS mount is still a better place for BLOBs than a relational

carefully dance with inter-thread connections and simulated file handles

taken care of.
The normal way to set up BLOB storage in zope.conf is to create a
<blobstorage> wrapper around a storage configuration. That might just
work with RelStorage, but I haven't tried it yet.

For some of us a the main reason for using RelStorage is to be able to
satisfy the 'all data must be stored in our oracle cluster' requirement
from enterprise customers. That means we can not use NFS mounts to
store blobs.<br>
