      It's odd that chunk size is initially set when the first mongos is started. It's also strange the the --chunkSize flag can't be used to change chunk size once it's been set.

      I propose removing the --chunkSize flag from mongos altogether. Then have some command to mechanism for setting chunk size if users so desire it. e.g.:

      db.runCommand(

      {setchunksize: 128}

      )
