[ZODB-Dev] Re: [Zope-dev] corrupted data.fs

[Chris Kratz]

Hello Toby,

The age in the script was five days.  Running five days interactively didn't 
seem to cause a problem.  Do you know what version of zope had this bug or 
where I could find more information on it?  Is there a "safe" number of days 
to pack the database I could try?  I would like to keep some history, I just 
don't want the ZODB to balloon out of control.
