Dear Couch users,
I am completely new on this list and hope you can give me a pointer for
more info on some issue we are seeing here.
We use CouchDB 1.6 on Linux for a production system and it works like a
charm. In order to backup the database, we simply use a shell script
that copies the .couch file.
Restoring this db on another Linux machine works very well and so we are
happy with this.
Some of our development, however, happens on Windows. Sometimes we need
to use a copy of the db for debugging purposes on Windows. So we copy
the file to a Windows box and in most cases, documents cannot be found
(HTTP 404). The file size is identical to the original, and some
documents can be found, but many can't. So it seems like couch can read
the first xxx bytes of the file but nothing after that.
Is that a known bug or limitation? Is our way of backing up wrong for
cross-system restore? What would be the appropriate way to
backup/restore back and forth between Linux and Windows?
Thanks for your help and time
Joachim
