[Pkg-mongodb-maintainers] Bug#892955: mongodb-server: enabling the 'oplog' config option makes server fail to start

[Toni Mueller]

Package: mongodb-server
Version: 1:3.2.11-2+deb9u1
Severity: normal


Hi,

I just installed mongodb and wanted to get more detailed logging, so I
removed the comment from 'oplog = 0' and switched to 7:

# Set oplogging level where n is
#   0=off (default)
#   1=W
#   2=R
#   3=both
#   7=W+some reads
oplog = 7


After that, the server refused to start, and I found this in the log:

... mongod[385]: Error parsing INI config file: unrecognised option 'oplog'


Cheers,
--Toni++
