Joshua Bronson commented on COUCHDB-275:
----------------------------------------

updated to r749851 as jan___ in #couchdb told me about a file descriptor leak prior to r748299, and retried compaction. this time compaction appears to have successfully completed, at least the following was output to couch.log:

[Wed, 04 Mar 2009 23:19:23 GMT] [debug] [<0.8952.0>] CouchDB swapping files /var/lib/couchdb/melkjug.couch and /var/lib/couchdb/melkjug.couch.compact.

however, 11 seconds later (adjusting for my local time of GMT-5) the erlang vm appears to have crashed again: the following was output to stderr:

heart: Wed Mar  4 18:19:34 2009: heart-beat time-out.
heart: Wed Mar  4 18:19:39 2009: Unable to kill old process, kill failed (tried multiple times).
heart: Wed Mar  4 18:19:40 2009: Executed "/usr/bin/couchdb -k". Terminating.
