[mongodb-user] fsync error on startup with v2.0.2

Hi,

I'm in the process of upgrading from v1.8.2 to v2.0.2 on a Linux (Centos
6.2) machine, using a --dbpath to a mounted (ie, non-local) directory. I'm
getting an fsync error during startup.

Using this command:

mongod --dbpath /mnt/price1/vcassen/mongo_dbs

I'm getting the following error message on startup (note the error on the
last line):

Mon Feb 27 12:10:27 [initandlisten] MongoDB starting : pid=28791 port=27017

The same command (with the same startup directory) worked under v1.8.2, and
the same command (using v2.0.2) works on a local (non-NFS mounted)
directory. Adding or omitting --nojournal does not seem to have any
effect. I've checked obvious things such as path correctness and
permissions.

I've read in this
thread<http://groups.google.com/group/mongodb-user/browse_thread/thread/18838e3346f5dfac/f6fae53020cb70cf?lnk=gst&q=fsync+invalid+argument#f6fae53020cb70cf>that
there may be issues with the CIFS/SAMBA client, but I don't have much
real ability to change that. I'm very curious though as to why v1.8.2 had
no problem starting up but v2.0.2 bails.

Any help or pointers to help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,
-Victor
