 Description   

Description

Minimum Oplog Retention Period in the 4.4 Release Notes should include a note about the behavioral change described in the --oplogMinRetentionHours command options.

Scope of changes

Add an IMPORTANT block to the release notes in the Minimum Oplog Retention Period section that states:

The oplog can grow without constraint so as to retain oplog entries for the configured number of hours. This may result in reduction or exhaustion of system disk space due to a combination of high write volume and large retention period.

This is the copy from the command option section.
