Compact -B doesn't compact db

I haven’t seen this before, I have a db showing 58% space used. I run a compact -B on this db to reduce it’s size but it doesn’t work, it gives recovered 0% and no db size difference. The only way to get it to shrink is to do a compact -c. Does anyone have any ideas?. Thanks

Is this occurring with one particular database, or does it occur with all of your databaes?

Enabling the debug parameter Debug_DBcompact=1 may give you more details on the problem. Setting it equal to 2 will make the output more verbose.

Use the set config Debug_DBcompact=1 command to enable the debug and then disable it using set config Debug_DBcompact=0.

Thanks for the reponse, this is happening to a bunch of databases. I’ll try the debug parameters to get more info. I haven’t seen this issue in versions older that 8, anybody else with this problem?
