db.repairDatabase()

Behavior

Warning

If you are running with journaling enabled, there is almost never any need to run repairDatabase unless you need to recover from a disk-level data corruption. In the event of an unclean shutdown, the server will be able to restore the data files to a clean state automatically.

Changed in version 2.6: The db.repairDatabase() is now available for secondary as well as primary members of replica sets.
