As an aside, we find management of ZEO clients much easier if each ZEO client of a particular system shares the same products and external methods via an NFS share. That way we can untar one product and push it out to all of the clients simultaneously. I'd be a little afraid of creating a

ZODB size What is the maximum size of this file and/or maximum object ID? = just how many objects can the zodb hold? millions? tens of millions..?? billions...??? I have a feeling we'll run out of ram long before actually hitting the limit but it'd be nice to know the theoretical top limit.

[Jens Vagelpohl] Well, the question was actually What is the maximum size of this file and/or maximum object ID? = just how many objects can the zodb hold?. There is only a theoretical limit that has to do with the largest index key for the ZODB index I believe, and that is some ludicrously

[Tim Peters] If you're using FileStorage, a technical detail in the implementation of the FileStorage index limits the maximum file offset that can be used to 2**48-1, or about 281 terabytes. Object IDs are effectively 64-bit integers (masquerading as 8-byte strings). [Andreas Jung] This
