You mean packing? One of the reasons for my question on BerkeleyDB is because I'm working on an autopacking storage based on BerkeleyDB. I think it would be a better choice for the back-back-end, although the insanity of BerkeleyDB on Linux distros might make that problematic.
If we were to go with a FileStorage, then yes, packing is an issue. Of course, with a Berkeley storage you get all the headaches of Berkeley maintenance too.
This is still a long ways off, so there's time to think about it.
