For example, I want to know the database directory that is used by mongodb to run what it is?
The documentation said that the default data is in /data/db however, there is no such directory
I wonder if there is a mongodb command to get that simple info. I look through the web and could not find it.

You can see the Configuration Parameters used with:
> db.serverCmdLineOpts()
For example:
{
"argv" : [
"mongod",
"--dbpath",
"/usr/local/db"
],
"parsed" : {
"dbpath" : "/usr/local/db"
},
"ok" : 1
}
Any parameters not specifically listed will be using their default values.

Just create a folder called data anywhere in your system. Then let Mongo know where the this folder is by updating the path.
in windows you would run this on the command line.
C:\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe --dbpath c:\test\mongodb\data
This is where your mongo stores your data.
