 Description   

Add an "arbiter" option to mongod to force the arbiter role; this will ensure that it cannot accidentally be added as a regular data-holding member later. The node may be added to replSet with rs.add(..) command. rs.addArb(..) will be not required since there is no question about its role...

The mongod --arbiter option may also imply --smallfiles option.
