Robert Newson commented on COUCHDB-1592:
----------------------------------------
welp, read_file_info returns 'regular' for symlinks on OS X and Linux, so I
guess this is a bust.

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Database Core

> Reporter: Nils Breunese
>
> 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.
