> CouchDB 1.3 ships with new couch_index app[1] that uses `index_dir` config option to locate directory to store view indexes. However, it replaces[2] old `view_index_dir`option creating situation when recently updated default.ini will have only `index_dir` option and old, but production used local.ini would still have `view_index_dir`. There is a fallback[3], but there no insurance that it will let user gracefully update.
> This situation may leads to very bad situations, when all indexes will be rebuilded against location that may not expects their on disk size (since `view_index_dir` was pointed to the another mount point) which leads to server fall.
