    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2697?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13051837#comment-13051837 ] 

Wojciech Meler commented on CASSANDRA-2697:
-------------------------------------------

cassandra 0.8.0 has problems with manual compaction - in my case I get "insufficient space..." message running 

  nodetool -h localhost -p 8080 compact mykeyspace fdb

while there is 66 fdb-*Data.db files, 6 fdb-*Compacted (a lot of files to compact) and only 7% of storage is used.

> When I explicitly send compaction command "compact" with nodetool, Cassandra outputs error message above.  This message is shown even when there is only one file and no need for compaction.  I believe this is confusing for users, and recommend that some alternative message should be shown for such case.
