Russell van der Walt commented on COUCHDB-926:
----------------------------------------------
Yes, the database has views and it happens always. I'm not sure about whether
the querying has any effect, but I will put together a test case tomorrow and
let you know.
> 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
> Fix For: 1.0.2, 1.1
>
>
> 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.
