Hi,

I couldn't find anything on this issue, but maybe my google-fu is weak.

I'm running a Cassandra 1.0.0-rc2 cluster with compression enabled for all of 
the two CFs I have right now. The load on a single node is about 32GB (disk is 
80GB per node). 

Whenever I try to run a compaction using nodetool on one of the CFs, I get the 
message "insufficient space to compact all requested files" in the log (it goes 
on to compact some SSTables, but not all). As not even half of the disk is 
used, compaction should be possible, right? Or does Cassandra use the 
uncompressed size to check whether there is enough space or not? I estimate 
that the data is compressed by a factor of about 3x.

Cheers,
Günter
