I am implementing a mongo database to store and manage our users files. We currently have 360 gigs of files. I have transfered and stored all the files into the database. Everything went smooth. I shutdown the server, and went away for a few hours, came back and it was running fine again. I shut it down to test it and started it back up. I have been sitting here for almost 1 hour and it is still not loaded.

I have decided to store all my files into individual buckets depending on the project record. So I have 7k-8k buckets (I used an object id for bucket name) with 1-20 files stored in each one. I have set the chunk size to 1mb.

I will have a replica set with this solution.
