Don't truncate the Data.fs.index file. Simply remove it, and restart. 
FileStorage will create a fresh one.

However, I suggest you keep the Data.fs.index around (move it to another 
directory).

It is possible, although unlikely, that you have some nasty corruption 
in your Data.fs. The Data.fs.index file can help greatly in recovering 
the data.

You'll know if this is the case if your ZEO server doesn't start up 
properly when you restart it, and complains about a corrupted Data.fs.
