To defragment an etcd data directory directly, while etcd is not running, use the command:

``` sh
$ etcdctl defrag --data-dir <path-to-etcd-data-dir>
```

## Space quota

The space quota in `etcd` ensures the cluster operates in a reliable fashion. Without a space quota, `etcd` may suffer from poor performance if the keyspace grows excessively large, or it may simply run out of storage space, leading to unpredictable cluster behavior. If the keyspace's backend database for any member exceeds the space quota, `etcd` raises a cluster-wide alarm that puts the cluster into a maintenance mode which only accepts key reads and deletes. Only after freeing enough space in the keyspace and defragmenting the backend database, along with clearing the space quota alarm can the cluster resume normal operation.

### DEFRAG
### DEFRAG [options]

DEFRAG defragments the backend database file for a set of given endpoints. When an etcd member reclaims storage space
from deleted and compacted keys, the space is kept in a free list and the database file remains the same size. By defragmenting
the database, the etcd member releases this free space back to the file system.
DEFRAG defragments the backend database file for a set of given endpoints while etcd is running, or directly defragments an
etcd data directory while etcd is not running. When an etcd member reclaims storage space from deleted and compacted keys, the
space is kept in a free list and the database file remains the same size. By defragmenting the database, the etcd member
releases this free space back to the file system.

#### Options

- data-dir -- Optional. If present, defragments a data directory not in use by etcd.

# Failed to defragment etcd member[badendpoint:2379] (grpc: timed out trying to connect)
```

To defragment a data directory directly, use the `--data-dir` flag:

``` bash
# Defragment while etcd is not running
./etcdctl defrag --data-dir default.etcd
# success (exit status 0)
# Error: cannot open database at default.etcd/member/snap/db
```

#### Remarks

DEFRAG returns a zero exit code only if it succeeded defragmenting all given endpoints.
