Hi CouchDB mailing list, I've been running Chef Server since about March and continue to run out of space. I've emailed the Chef mailing list and although they were able to help, none of their answers successfully solved my problem.
I'm running CouchDB v1.0.1: chef-server:~$ curl localhost:5984 {"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"1.0.1"} And I have a script running daily via cron that compacts the data and the views: https://gist.github.com/4091940 unfortunately, this has not halted the growth of used space on my couchdb partition. It doesn't seem to be cleaning up deleted documents: chef-server:~$ curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" localhost:5984/chef {"db_name":"chef","doc_count":1235,"doc_del_count":10212,"update_seq":536514,"purge_seq":0,"compact_running":false,"disk_size":45922017384,"instance_start_time":"1353948344088704","disk_format_version":5,"committed_update_seq":536514} Currently, the couchdb partition is using up 43GB of the 60GB allocated to it. Is there anything I can do? The server is Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS with all of the latest packages. I've tried rebooting the server and restarting the couchdb daemon (as suggested on the chef mailing list), but to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks! ...spike
