That happens when the mongo didn't have a clean shutdown, so it is simply a forced shutdown + repair.

If you are using linux, just follow this instructions:

  • First make sure the mongo is not running: systemctl mongod stop
  • Remove the previous lock file: rm /data/db/mongod.lock
  • Run the mongod repair: mongod --repair
  • If needed, close the running mongod and restart the mongod: systemctl mongod start
