That looks all normal. Your database dir is /u1/couchdb and you have a /u1/couchdb/shards dir, that’s where all your couch files live, separated by one more dir level that represents the shard range.
The .shards dir exists in the view_index_dir (not database_dir) configuration, and it includes all view indexes. if you don’t have any views at all, you might not have a .shards dir. If you have views, your view indexes live in view_index_dir/.shards Best Jan — > On 18.
