'mongodump --oplog' doesn't check for oplog rollover

    • Type: Icon: Bug Bug
    • Resolution: Done
    • Priority: Icon: Critical - P2 Critical - P2
    • 2.8.0-rc0
    • Affects Version/s: Legacy C++ Implementation
    • Component/s: mongodump

      As near as I can tell, if you run 'mongodump --oplog', and if the oplog has rolled over so that the entry at opLogStart is no longer present, 'mongodump' will not detect the problem, and will go ahead and create a backup that is missing the critical oplog entries

      I'd suggest that 'mongodump' should check for this condition and error out if it happens.
