Hello,

You had the volume mounted to the wrong location of /data for Mongo, the volume needs to be mounted to /data/db

I've fixed that for you.

Additionally, you do not need to unmount / mount to grow the volume, we handle all that for you.

I would also recommend growing the volume to 5GB, as Mongo will just crash again because Mongo needs a lot of free space.

Best,
Brody

Thank you very much Brody! That was quick

I have a question about backup. Is there a way I can manually download Volume content? So at least I can store some backups at my end

Hello,

Since this is a Mongo database, you would want to use mongodump -
