My host came with a mongodb instance and there is no /db directory so now I am wondering what I can do to find out where the data is actually being stored.
mongod
defaults the database location to /data/db/
.
If you run ps -xa | grep mongod
and you don't see a --dbpath
which explicitly tells mongod
to look at that parameter for the db location and you don't have a dbpath
in your mongodb.conf
, then the default location will be: /data/db/
and you should look there.
