    Description

      https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/faq/storage/#faq-reclaim-disk-space

      You can only run repairDatabase on a standalone mongod instance. If the mongod instance is a member of a replica set, you will need to take the node out of a replica set and restart it as a standalone in order to run repairDatabase.

      If the mongod instance is part of a replica set, you shouldn't be running repairDatabase on it, ever. You should be resyncing it, as mentioned later on in the same section
