I've got 3 nodes in a replica set.

Each time when performing a mongorestore from the Master, the secondaires go into a RECOVERING state. The oplog cannot keep up. unfortunately I cannot increase the oplog size because lack of disk space.

Now, I want to perform a manual restore by copying the files. https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/resync-replica-set-member/

Here is a snippet of the files which I got:

meee@mongo-p01:~$ sudo ls -la /var/lib/mongodb
[sudo] password for meee:

drwxr-x---   4 mongodb root          4096 Feb 22 17:54 .

What are the correct steps I should take?

    1. Reset all mongos by reïnstalling
    1. Perform a mongorestore on the master
    1. Right after the restore, stop all mongod
    1. Copy all local.x and mymongobase.x files to other nodes
    1. Start mongod on all nodes?

I'm a bit lost here.

  • Ensure you have enough disk space!
  • Shutdown mongos on all 3 nodes
  • From Master node; tar all local* and mymongobase* files
  • SCP files to 2 secondaries
  • Unpack files in mongo data location (/var/lib/mongodb)
  • Start mongod on all nodes

Works for me
