No....why not just create a shortcut? (Or, in Linux land, a soft link...) 
That way you can move your Data.fs anywhere you want, like a new disk that 
has more space. You move your data.fs to where ever, then create a shortcut, 
put the shortcut to where the data.fs originally is placed by zope, rename 
"shortcut to data.fs" to "data.fs", and voila, you're all done. No hacking up 
anything necessary. :-)
