    Description

      We just talked about this in person.

      The 2.6 Linux packages have a lot of changes from 2.4 that can catch people off guard -
      Package names (no more "10gen")
      Standardization of naming and paths across packages -

      • init scripts and service name (mongod)
      • config file path (/etc/mongod.conf)
      • log paths (/var/log/mongodb/mongod.log)
      • data directory (/var/lib/mongodb)
      • User and group (mongodb/mongodb)
