The `_nodes.couch` looks to be intact, and there are `.couch` files for the databases inside the `shards` directory. ```bash bitnami@LDC-AZU-COU2:/bitnami/couchdb/data$ ls -l total 16 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 4 17:58 _dbs.couch -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8389 Apr 4 17:55 _nodes.couch drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 4 17:55 shards ``` Is there any way to rebuild the `_dbs.couch` file? We don't have backups. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service. To respond to the message, please log on to GitHub and use the URL above to go to the specific comment.
