    • Windows
      • Install Windows 2012 R2 on MongoDB 3.6.3
      • Insert 10000000 documents

      The WT log files keep accumulating forever. The restart cleans the old journal files but starts to accumulate the journal files seamlessly again.

      To avoid this issue, one can use the --wiredTigerEngineConfigString='log=(prealloc=false)' option.
