[Zope] Strange errormessages while packing the Database

[Sven Rudolph]

Hello all

While packing my database some strange errormessages appeared in my error_log:
<error_log>

2002-06-21T08:02:28 ERROR(200) ZServer uncaptured python exception, closing channel <ZServer.HTTPServer.zhttp_channel connected 211.110.7.215:39202 at 0x1abfc784 channel#: 4741 requests:> (socket.error:(32, 'Broken pipe') [/export/home/www/medizin/zopeweb/zope-2.5.1b1/ZServer/medusa/asynchat.py|handle_read|82] [/export/home/www/medizin/zopeweb/zope-2.5.1b1/ZServer/medusa/http_server.py|recv|420] [/export/home/www/medizin/zopeweb/zope-2.5.1b1/ZServer/medusa/asyncore.py|recv|357])

</error-log>

Could somebody tell me, if this is serious and what this means?
The Data.fs was about 1.3 GBytes(!) big and is now 512MByte. We had a disc space problem, and the server was not able to do the nightly packings (cronjob) for several days (couldn't write Data.fs.old). This is the reason why Data.fs was so big.


After packing the Database I restarted the server and found the following error messages.

<error_log>

</error_log>

This seems to be a programmers joke, but I am a little bit scarred now, so I take it serious.
But is this really serious?

The server seems to be ok now. I don't see any "misbehaviour" and no data seems to be missing.
But we have appr. 15.000 documents in the database, so it's difficult to be sure.


Thanks in advance for any help
