Hi, I'm currently battling with 1.0.1 production servers that require the CouchDB service to be restarted every couple of days due to the fact that CouchDB does not release the file descriptors of compacted databases. As a result the free space on my servers simply disappear over a couple of days, causing the servers to crash unless I stop and restart the CouchDB servers (at which point the release of the file descriptors returns the free space to the system).
Having searched the mailing list, I came upon a thread titled "Couch not releasing deleted files" in september that seems to indicate that the couch devs are aware of the issue, however I cannot find a bug in the issue tracker relating to the problem. Does anyone know what the status of the issue is at the moment? Regards, Russell
