I'm having some trouble with intentionally removing a secondary from a replica set. I'm trying to simulate unexpected shutdown.
My replica set consists of one primary and 2 secondaries. When I shut down the mongo instance on one of the secondaries and try to restart the service it fails with the message from the log which states:
Tue Dec 24 12:20:08.882 [initandlisten] couldn't open /var/lib/mongo/maars.ns errno:13 Permission denied
Simple chown -R mongod /var/lib/mongo
solves the problem, but this shouldn't happend. Am I doing something wrong?
Ask for more info if you need something.
