      Problem

      Have an NFS mount on a Linux machine

      10.5.0.132:/vol/harpoon  /data-nfs nfs lock,rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,suid,tcp,timeo=600,noatime  0 0
      

      The process running mongodb can create files etc. just ok. However, on startup get the following errors in the log
