      Start a member with --replSet foo
      Run:

      db.getSiblingDB("local").oplog.rs.insert({x:1})
rs.initiate()
      Show
      Start a member with --replSet foo Run: db.getSiblingDB( "local" ).oplog.rs.insert({x:1}) rs.initiate()

      Currently, if you create the local.oplog.rs collection prior to running rs.initiate, you can create a replset that has an unbounded oplog.

      Ideally we should either prevent this, alert (and potentially fail) when running rs.initiate() and a non-capped oplog.rs is found.

      And potentially have a preflight check when starting as a repl member, then alerting and hanging until a resolution is found.
