Forgot to mention something I'm not sure is an issue, but should be checked: how resistant is CouchDB against inaccessible _users or _replicator? It seems like even _users might at some point be in an unsupported on-disk version. I run all of my couches in Admin Party mode so I never even look at the _users database, but it probably wouldn't work all that well. Cheers, Dirkjan
