    Description

      In our production notes we recommend setting:

      vm.max_map_count value of 128000
      

      This corresponds to our default max connections of 64k, as each connection requires 2 maps.

      Upon startup, the mongod should check this value (/proc/sys/vm/max_map_count) and warn if it doesn't equal 2*max connections.

       

      Acceptance Criteria: We warn users that vm.max_map_count doesn't exceed 2x max connections
