Hi all,
The compact task is started, does process databases with a usage < 80%, but with no effect. The log says:
13.11.2003 02:01:40 Compacting database.nsf (Database Title)
13.11.2003 02:01:40 Compacted database.nsf, 0K bytes recovered (0%)
Starting the task from the server console has the same result. Starting the task with the -c option gives the expected result, recovering something like > 20%.
Any Ideas ?
Subject: default compact is not recovering whitespace
If you run ‘compact’ the server in fact does a ‘compact -b’. This consolidates whitespace in the database, so that it can be reused efficiently, limiting further unneccesary growth of the database. It does however not reduce the filesize, as you’ve noticed. For filesize reduction, use compact -B or as you say, compact -c.

It worked in 4x and it also still works on our machines still running Domino 6.0.
