 Description   

The oplog parameter doesn't determine the size of the oplog on subsequent changes after the first start. This was disabled long time ago as I can see on SERVER-2607 and SERVER-4613.

The documentation and the comments in the mongod configuration file should mention this in order to clarify this fact and point the user in the right direction when changing the oplog size.

ricardo.lorenzo In the docs, we currently state

Once the mongod has created the oplog for the first time, changing the --oplogSize option will not affect the size of the oplog.

in both the mongod reference page and configuration options reference.

That bit of info isn't included in the mongod --help output, is that where you'd like it updated?
