I checked the status page and the view group indexer is running. I expected to still be able to access the uncompacted views while couch was writing out the compacted ones. Did I misunderstand, Adam? I tried killing 0.9.2, started 0.9.0 back up again, but then: $ curl localhost:5984/melkjug # (the live db) {"error":"error","reason":"{{badmatch,unknown_header_type},\n [{couch_db_updater,init,1},\n {gen_server,init_it,6},\n {proc_lib,init_p_do_apply,3}]}"} I thought the 0.9.2-and-view-compaction backport was supposed to preserve the header so it could still be read by 0.9.0. Again, did I misunderstand? I brought 0.9.2 back up and let it continue doing the compaction, but currently our site is down in the meantime. If there's any way to get couch to serve results from the uncompacted views while compaction is running, please holler back soon. Thanks, Josh
