Unable to start docker mongo image on windows

Question

When starting the image I get the following error:

 2019-02-27T17:09:41.095+0000 E STORAGE  [initandlisten] WiredTiger error (17) [1551287381:95206][1:0x7fae         


        

Answer 1

Not entirely the same issue, but I saw the same error messages when simply spinning up a Docker container for mongo in Ubuntu and attempting to mount an existing directory to the container:

docker run --name some-mongo -p 27017:27017 -v $PWD/db-data:/data/db -d mongo

In my case the errors only showed up if I was trying to run the command from a directory on my mounted HDD, and I was able to solve it by migrating my codebase with the /db-data directory to my SSD where Ubuntu is installed.
