Stop mongod.
Move the directory specified by dbPath to new partition.
Update dbPath to point to new location.

How do I get the dbPath. Just move all the files there into new directory?

Thanks.

[mamat_hensem]

find mongodb config file
sudo find / -name mongod.conf -print

get dbPath from that file

stop mongodb
service mongod stop

check mongodb is not running
sudo systemctl status mongod

copy all files from dbPath to new dbPath
cp -r old_dbPath new_dbPath

chown of new dbPath
sudo chown -R mongodb:mongodb new_dbPath

change dbPath in mongodb config file to new_dbPath

start mongodb
sudo systemctl start mongod

if everything good after restarting your pc, remove the old dbPath
