I'm encountering the following error upon executing sudo service mongod start in terminal.

    mongod.service - MongoDB Database Server
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mongod.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)

I am unfamiliar with this error, could anyone please suggest what the fix might be?

Fixed using this answer from another post:

Open /etc/mongod.conf and look for dbPath: /xyz/xyz

Use the following command to provide the rights to mongodb

sudo chown -R mongodb:mongodb /xyz/xyz

Check the log file on dbath . This is located normally on /var/log/mongodb The log file is mongodb.log

The problem for me was low space on disk... I had the same issue you have .

I had no empty space on disk so I have used the smallfiles options on the file /etc/mongodb.conf Simply add the line on this configuration file: smallfiles = true
