New plexdrive 4.0 has mongodb, is that better?

Help and Support

A little advise when using MongoDB only for PlexDrive: I found out that in my mongodb - folder (where the databases are), there were some big files inside a “journal” - folder… (like 3 GB folder-size).
You can either add a parameter when starting mongo-db to keep the journal-files small, or go to the mongodb.conf -file (usually at /etc/mongodb.conf) and add a small parameter to keep the journal files small (around 128MB):

cp -p /etc/mongodb.conf /etc/mongodb.conf.orig
vi /etc/mongodb.conf

Now, insert

smallfiles=true

into the mongodb.conf, then save. smallfiles limits the journal file to 128MB.

service mongodb stop
rm -rf /var/lib/mongodb/journal/*
service mongodb start

After a few weeks of usage this version 4.0 is VERY stable
No crash, no issues with buffering, or start/stop of my content
Keep up the good work!
