Bug Description
The "mount-point" documentation says:
The mount point is the slash-separated path to which this database will be mounted within the Zope application server.
This is at least incomplete. In fact, the mount-point spec has the form "virtual_path [: real_path]". "virtual_path" describes the path in the mounting Zope instance and "real_path" the path in the mounted storage. Furthermore,
"real_path" allows a special syntax to specify a non-standard root.
Unfortunately, the default "real_path" is equal to "virtual_path". If "virtual_path" is non-trivial, this
leads to a very strange (and mount position dependent)
structure in the storage.
At least, the documentation needs to be completed.
If possible, "real_path" should get a more senseful
default value. Unfortunately, the most natural
value "/" will not work. Thus, maybe, it is not possible.
