| No.  These are very deep issues, especially the replication part.  If
| this is important to you, I suggest using a replicated filesystem to
| store the final FileStorage file, like Coda or Intermetzo.

Some sort of transaction log would be nice. Not only could you track this
to do replication, it would then possible to rebuild corrupted Data.fs files 
as well. I don't know if ZEO already does this, this is just idle speculation
on my part.

| While it would be a great idea for there to be failover and replication,
| the issues are complex and without more wide spread use we really don't
| want to start engineering a solution (one of the reasons we are open
| sourcing it...)

I guessed as much :-)
