Compaction does not release file descriptors
--------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-926
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-926
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Database Core
Affects Versions: 1.0.1
Environment: Ubuntu 9.04/10.4
Reporter: Russell van der Walt
When couch compacts a database, file descriptors of the deleted files are left
open, causing the freed disk space to not be released to the system. With
regular compaction, the system eventually runs out of disk space.
There is a conversation thread in the user mailing list titled "Couch not
releasing deleted files" that gives more insight into the problem, but I have
been unable to find a bug report for it, so please accept my apologies if this
has already been dealt with.
