Problem with large DBs

Hi all!

My name is Fernando and I'm currently one of the Ubiquity [1]  
developers (I'm focused on the server-side development).
We're currently using couchdb with Ubiquity Herd [2] [3] and with our  
bug report system, and our installation has become quite big (6GB  
right now even after compact).

The problem is: couchdb doesn't stay up for more than a few minutes  
before totally crashing.

Is couchdb capable of handling such big data-sets?
Without the logs, can you guys guess what's going on?

(Btw, I'm trying to get the logs asap)

The most important information would be your CouchDB version, you can
get that by requesting "/".

CouchDB is known to handle 100s of GBs in a single data file with no
issues, so I doubt size is the issue.

Without the logs the other thing that could help is some guesses about
whether a particular action is causing the crash.

Thanks,
Chris
