Nils Breunese commented on COUCHDB-1592:
----------------------------------------
Ah, that wasn't clear to me.
I don't have another setup that shows this issue than our production setup
right now, so I'll either have to see if our hosting provider is willing to
compile CouchDB with this patch or this situation needs to be recreated
elsewhere. I guess that would be setting database_dir to a symlink on a
filesystem with little free space which in turn is pointing to a location on a
filesystem with enough free space to let compaction run. Is this something that
could be coded into the CouchDB test suite or would creating a (RAM-based?)
test filesystem be too much?

> 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.
