----------------------------------------

Benoit, Nils already answered that. It's outside of his control. I think it's 
simple to follow the symlink (file:read_link/1, fallback if einval).
                
> Free space check for automatic compaction doesn't follow symlinks

> We've got a problem with automatic compaction not running due to low 
> diskspace according to CouchDB. According to our system administrators there 
> is more than enough space (more than twice the currently used space), but the 
> data directory is a symlink to the real data storage. It seems CouchDB is 
> checking the diskspace on the filesystem on which the symlink resides instead 
> of the diskspace on the linked filesystem.
