      The MongoDB RPM is relocatable according

      rpm -qvip

      However it appears the included mongod.service does not reflect a relocation and still expects the executable at /usr/bin/mongod. The service then fails to start.

      Editing mongod.service and updating ExecStart fixes the issue
