----------------------------------------
Summary: CouchDB does not release disk space from .deleted files
Key: COUCHDB-1652
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1652
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Database Core
Reporter: Simon Eisenmann
I noticed on long running servers a disk space increase over time. Though the
database in itself did not grow. After investigation i found that there are
lots of files still open which have already been deleted.
lsof |grep deleted

CouchDB should release the file pointer on those files, to release the disk
space to tools like df.
