I’ve noticed that we are having issues with the nightly compact task (compact -B -S 10)The process is running how ever space is not being reclaimed i.e.
Compacting domcfg.nsf (DOMCFG), -b -S 10
Compacted domcfg.nsf, 0K bytes recovered (0%)
Has something changed in the compact process. We are on 8.5.1FP3
I already did a search and saw that someone else reported a similar issue but there was no feedback or update.
Subject: Based on my experience compact -B does not work well
-c will reduce size better.
Subject: try -L -B -S10
Subject: What is the unused space ?
From admin help :
Compacts all databases with a specified percent of unused space. For example, if you specify 10, databases with 10% or more recorded unused space are compacted. Note that the unused space calculation is not always a reliable measure of unused space.
so if your database have less than 10% of unused space, it will not be compacted.
Hope this helps

Subject: Checked
I double checked and most of the databases have a lot more than 10% space waiting to be reclaimed so I don’t believe that is the cause. Thanks.
