Hi CouchDB mailing list,

I've been running Chef Server since about March and continue to run out =
of space. I've emailed the Chef mailing list and although they were able =
to help, none of their answers successfully solved my problem.

I'm running CouchDB v1.0.1:

chef-server:~$ curl localhost:5984
{"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"1.0.1"}

And I have a script running daily via cron that compacts the data and =
the views:

https://gist.github.com/4091940

unfortunately, this has not halted the growth of used space on my =
couchdb partition. It doesn't seem to be cleaning up deleted documents:

chef-server:~$ curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" =
localhost:5984/chef
=
{"db_name":"chef","doc_count":1235,"doc_del_count":10212,"update_seq":5365=
14,"purge_seq":0,"compact_running":false,"disk_size":45922017384,"instance=
_start_time":"1353948344088704","disk_format_version":5,"committed_update_=
seq":536514}

Currently, the couchdb partition is using up 43GB of the 60GB allocated =
to it. Is there anything I can do?

The server is Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS with all of the latest packages. I've =
tried rebooting the server and restarting the couchdb daemon (as =
suggested on the chef mailing list), but to no avail.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
