corrupted database file
I get the following error when visiting futon:
Database information could not be retrieved:
{{{badmatch,eof},
[{couch_file,handle_call,3},
{gen_server,handle_msg,5},
{proc_lib,init_p_do_apply,3}]},
{gen_server,call,[<0.82.0>,
{pread_bin,86816267188},infinity]}}
This is in couch 0.9.0.
The file system had run out of disk space previously. There is
sufficient disk space now, but the database file seems to be
corrupted. Is there any utility to try to repair the database?

I don't have anything more specific than the next couple of months
probably. It really depends on when the first person decides to tackle
the patch.

May I ask where the feature lives in the timeline?

Its a planned feature so that instead of overwriting the header at the
beginning of the file we just append a new header to the end of the
file. In the future when you have a weird file truncation we can just
walk backwards through the db to get the last valid version assuming
there's no corruption in the middle of the file.

What does "tail-append" headers mean?
Is there anything that can be done in the current version to avoid
this? (aside from ensuring there is always disk space)
Thanks,

It looks like the database file got truncated. Until we get tail-
append headers, there is no way to recover the file contents when this
happens.
