This is a patch to FileStorage that splits Data.fs into multiple files (Data.fs.1, Data.fs.2, etc.) This allows Zope's database to grow beyond the file size limits imposed by either Python or the operating system.

It should be considered experimental. It has not been tested on all platforms. Do not try to use it with Zope versions earlier than 2.2.1.

To install, untar the archive in the "ZODB" directory of your Zope installation. It replaces the FileStorage.py module and adds the PartitionedFile.py module.

Note that the PartitionedFile.py module in no way depends on Zope; you might try experimenting with it in other projects.

Installation note: if you're using version 0.0.2, install 0.0.1 first then replace PartitionedFile.py.
