[Zope] 2GB and NTFS

[Paul Everitt]

Oh yeh, well I once saw a 13 Gb Data.fs, top that!  The customer had=20
forgotten to pack.  Nothing really went wrong, the zeo storage server on=20
Solaris happily kept crunching.

When it *was* time to pack, though...ooomph.

Maybe Andy should have a ZopeZen poll for "Who has the largest Data.fs?".
