Filipe Manana updated COUCHDB-926: ---------------------------------- Attachment: test_comp.sh Attaching the script used to reproduce the issue. > Compaction does not release file descriptors > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: COUCHDB-926 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-926 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Database Core > Affects Versions: 1.0.1 > Environment: Ubuntu 9.04/10.4 > Reporter: Russell van der Walt > Assignee: Filipe Manana > Fix For: 1.0.2, 1.1 > > Attachments: test_comp.sh > > > When couch compacts a database, file descriptors of the deleted files are > left open, causing the freed disk space to not be released to the system. > With regular compaction, the system eventually runs out of disk space. > There is a conversation thread in the user mailing list titled "Couch not > releasing deleted files" that gives more insight into the problem, but I have > been unable to find a bug report for it, so please accept my apologies if > this has already been dealt with. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
