Robert Newson commented on COUCHDB-1592:
----------------------------------------

welp, read_file_info returns 'regular' for symlinks on OS X and Linux, so I guess this is a bust.

vagrant@debian-6:~$ file bar
bar: symbolic link to `foo'

> We've got a problem with automatic compaction not running due to low diskspace according to CouchDB. According to our system administrators there is more than enough space (more than twice the currently used space), but the data directory is a symlink to the real data storage. It seems CouchDB is checking the diskspace on the filesystem on which the symlink resides instead of the diskspace on the linked filesystem.
