Benoit Chesneau commented on COUCHDB-1592:
------------------------------------------
Well if the reason is to swithch easily to an alternate disk, then the
resolution to an absolute path could be problematic. My question doesn't imply
anything about control or to be able to change that but the why this is done.
So we can make sure to find an appropriate solution.

> Affects Versions: 1.2
> Reporter: Nils Breunese
>
> 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.
