    Description

      [Sync by Copying Data Files from Another Member](https://docs.mongodb.com/v3.2/tutorial/resync-replica-set-member/#copy-the-data-files) contains a warning:

      IMPORTANT
      If copying data files, you must copy the content of the local database.

      IMHO, it is a little bit misleading because that implies that some other files may be ignored. And, customer did ask which files they can skip. However, I believe our suggestion is to copy the whole directory.

      Therefore, I suggest we delete this warning from our manual.
