Paul Joseph Davis updated COUCHDB-602:
--------------------------------------
Skill Level: Committers Level (Medium to Hard)
> Cannot use NFS for storage
> --------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-602
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-602
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Test Suite
> Affects Versions: 0.10
> Reporter: Nils Breunese
> Attachments: error.gz
>
>
> Our hosting provider claims they cannot upgrade our CouchDB installation from
> version 0.9.1 to 0.10 as the test suite for 0.10 is failing.
> This is a translation from their report:
> ----
> CouchDB can't handle having its data directory on NFS.
> It seems CouchDB tries to do this:
> 1 mkdir test
> 2 start process X with fd under test/foo
> 3 do the work
> 4 rm test/foo
> 5 rmdir test
> 6 kill process X
> When test/ is on NFS:
> In step 4 an open file is being removed. NFS doesn't really support this
> and the workaround is that the client implementation does
> mv file .nfsXXXXXXX
> However, the 'rmdir test' in step 5 then cannot succeed anymore, since
> the directory is not empty. This eventually causes CouchDB to crash.
> In earlier versions of CouchDB the open/rm/rmdir/kill order may have
> been different, for instance open/rm/kill/rmdir.
