Nils Breunese commented on COUCHDB-1592:
----------------------------------------
I guess that if there would be a circular reference you wouldn't be able to use
that location as CouchDB's data directory anyway. :o)
> 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.
