One of the patches that has been discussed dealt explicitly with view queries, so if the problem persists without any queries we'll know we need to look elsewhere to track it down. > Compaction does not release file descriptors > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: COUCHDB-926 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-926 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Database Core > Affects Versions: 1.0.1 > Environment: Ubuntu 9.04/10.4 > Reporter: Russell van der Walt > Fix For: 1.0.2, 1.1 > > > When couch compacts a database, file descriptors of the deleted files are left open, causing the freed disk space to not be released to the system. With regular compaction, the system eventually runs out of disk space. > There is a conversation thread in the user mailing list titled "Couch not releasing deleted files" that gives more insight into the problem, but I have been unable to find a bug report for it, so please accept my apologies if this has already been dealt with. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
