Thank you very much, if your terminal command doesn’t resolve this I will start over with the instructions that I compiled after my research, changing to luks with xfs.
This is a fresh database with no existing data.
That’s a huge help, please allow me a couple of days to follow all you have suggested; as I have other projects as well.
It’s unfortunate that my company won’t justify the paid version of mongo. I’m guessing that would be much easier to set up. We’re a tiny start up.
Anyway, thank you for your support and have a nice day.
