[jira] Commented: (COUCHDB-275) couchdb dies during compaction

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-275?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12678028#action_12678028 ] 

Noah Slater commented on COUCHDB-275:
-------------------------------------

Just for clarification, the issue here is related to the Erlang VM crashing.

The weird broken pipe error is a benign artefact of the Erlang heart process trying to restart CouchDB.
