MongoDB Failing to Start - ***aborting after fassert() failure


SOLUTION by kometen

Does the file /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock exist? If so try to delete it, ie. 'sudo rm /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock'.


The problem can also be due to mongodb using up all the disk space. That was the case for me. You can install ncdu with this command:sudo apt install ncdu

This will help you in looking at the disk usage. Use the command:ncdu -x /

Remove the unwanted dbs from /var/lib/mongodb/
