      Started mongod with

      numactl --interleave=all bin/mongod --config bin/mongodb.config --setParameter newCollectionsUsePowerOf2Sizes=false

      Confirm command line option was used:

      > db.adminCommand({"getParameter":1, "newCollectionsUsePowerOf2Sizes":1})
{ "newCollectionsUsePowerOf2Sizes" : false, "ok" : 1 }

      Look at collection created after mongod was started and it uses powerOf2Sizes because userFlags:1

      I started mongod with --setParameter newCollectionsUsePowerOf2Sizes=false, then created a new collection and db.$collection.stats() has userFlags:1 which means that powerOf2Sizes is enabled for that collection.
      


      Given the work described here, shouldn't this not have used powerOf2Sizes?
