How to specify individual database location in couchdb?

I know the database_dir option controls where databases are by default. But is it possible to have many databases in different folders (or even on different disks)?

You may use slash / symbol in database name and CouchDB will create subdirectory for such database. E.g. database with name foo/bar/baz will have next structure on file system:

/var/lib/couchdb/
+ -- foo/
     + -- bar/
          + baz.couch

You may preallocate such structure and setup symlinks before CouchDB will use it - CouchDB handles such case with easy. The only requirement is that destination location should be readable and writable for CouchDB.
