 ZODB growing a lot?
|
 Posted by on Thursday May 10, 06:38PM, 2001
from the zodb-getting-2gb-in-four-days dept.
We are using Squishdot 0-7-2 to power a very active website at act.greenpeace.org and our ZODB is growing up to 2 GB almost every week.
The issue is that I am not sure that this is related to Squishdot, but I would like to know if some of you noticed that (after packing the database it gets down to normal values -aprox 200MB-) or should I look into other directions? We are running some custom software on that Zope machine also...
Any ideas on where I should start looking at?
Thanks in advance!

Zope 2.3.2, Squishdot 1.1.1

Well, of course I'd point the finger at something other than Squishdot ;-)
Seriously though, this may be because of some data structures used in Squishdot that are part of the Zope core. These were recently re-engineered to cause the ZODB to grow much less quickly.
My recommendation would be to upgrade to Zope 2.3.2 and Squishdot 1.1.1 (you'll have to wait until early next week ;-) and then take stock after that.
cheers,

We appear to be seeing a large growth when people add a comment to a thread. Is it possible that Zope is keeping a backup copy of the entire thread?
Since some of our threads have hundreds of comments, this could make a big difference.
We've installed the latest version of Zope and we'll install Squishdot 1.1.1 as soon as it is available.
Cheers,
Kevin

Bruno,
If you have such a heavy discussion area, I would suggest a few things. But your problems probably lie in your custom software. Recommendations:
* like ChrisW said, 'move to the new Squishdot' and newest version of ZOPE 2.3.2
* segment your ZODB/Squishdot using MountedStorage ot its own Data.fs (last effort)
* do you have any counters? I bet your custom software is programmed not thinking about large volume and Zope's Undo (the most likely culprt)
* on zope.org there are scripts that will allow ZOPE to 'pack'. I would put a daily cron job @4AM that packed your ZODB. this way you will never go above 1GB or so. (this isnt solving your problem -- just a work around)
