[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-1592) Free space check for automatic compaction doesn't seem to follow symlinks

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1592?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13492263#comment-13492263 ]

----------------------------------------

It sounds like couchdb is doing exactly what you told it, to me. Why can't you tell couchdb where your data is really stored?

> 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.
