It turns out that the apt upgrade from 4.4.6 to 4.4.9 caused this issue. The upgrade was done without shutting down mongodb. Presumably if it had been shut down, then done the upgrade, then started 4.4.9, it would have been fine, but because the first restart was after the crash, it caused these issues. The remedy was to go back to 4.4.6.
