I believe --smallfiles is an option to limit the size of optional files to 512MB. You still need a heck of a lot of storage space if you are going to run a cluster. This option should probably go somewhere in /etc/mongodb.conf rather than in the init file. what's the output of: sudo df -H You may need to expand a partition, or add a secondary drive and mount it at /var/lib/mongodb Personally, I've found mongodb too complicated and cumbersome for most of my use cases... postgresql is my go to database pretty much everywhere. --Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
