Description

After a CouchDB restart, recently added/changed documents+designdocuments (min. 2 weeks timeline!) are missing and cant be accessed trough REST Calls / Futon.

All documents that are still available trought REST/Futon only exist in old revisions.

All documents/revisions can be found doing a manual search (less/egrep/...) in the datafile (/var/lib/couchdb/<database>.couch)

Example:

strings dtap.couch | grep -i "226b2e6c-24b7-4336-92c7-257abf923b11"
$226b2e6c-24b7-4336-92c7-257abf923b11h
$226b2e6c-24b7-4336-92c7-257abf923b11l
$226b2e6c-24b7-4336-92c7-257abf923b11l
$226b2e6c-24b7-4336-92c7-257abf923b11l
