Document how to find and clean up orphan chunks in GridFS

    XMLWordPrintableJSON

    Description

      Now and then when uploading files to GridFS the upload may fail part way through due to interruptions in network connectivity. This results in orphaned chunks in the fs.chunks collection that are not associated with any entry in the fs.files collections.

      We should document the phenomenon, and document how to find and clean up these orphaned chunks.
