#### Series file compaction on start-up
With InfluxDB Enterprise v1.11.3+, on start-up, InfluxDB run the
`influxd_inspect -compact-series-file` command to [compact series files](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/tools/influx_inspect/#--compact-series-file-) before data nodes are started.
Series files are stored in `_series` directories in the
[`/data` directory](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/concepts/file-system-layout/#data-node-file-system-layout)
(default is `/var/lib/data/<db-name>/_series`).
- If any series files are corrupt, the `influx_inspect` or `influxd` processes on
the data node may fail to start. In both cases, delete the series file
directories before restarting the database. InfluxDB will automatically
regenerate the deleted series files when the database is restarted.
- To check if series files are corrupt before starting the database, run the
[`influx_inspect verify-seriesfile` command](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/tools/influx_inspect/#verify-seriesfile)
while the database is off-line.
- If series files are large (20+ gigabytes), it may also be faster to delete the
series file directories before starting the database.
