Robert Newson commented on COUCHDB-1592:
----------------------------------------
Nils, ignore that, I was asking if absname resolves the symlink, but it
obviously doesn't. What we'd need to do is call read_link, which will resolve
the link if it is one, or it returns {error, einval} if it isn't, and we can
then use absname. Something like that, it doesn't sound hard, assuming that the
code in couchdb for finding the right line from get_disk_data works.

> 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.
