To fix:
See the last sentence here: Basically the --repairpath is only used for storing temporary files while the repair is running. Once finished the --repairpath folder will be empty and the original files in the dbpath will be replaced. Usually --repairpath is used when somebody is trying to reclaim disk space and it's using another volume with sufficient space to run the repair. |
