Hello, can someone explain or point me to some solution of how to use MongoDB and new Block Storages. I have existing MongoDB database and I want to enable it to store data on new created and mounted Blocks. Is that even possible and how can be done? Thanks

That is possible and one method of doing this is:
First stop mongodb
sudo service mongodb stopMove your database to block storage. (Depending on the version, your database may be in a different location. Check your MongoDB config file for
dbpathoption.)sudo mv /usr/local/var/mongodb /block/storage/mongodb/Create a symlink to the new part of the database. (Depending on the version, your database may be in a different location. Check your MongoDB config file for
dbpathoption. )sudo ln -s /block/storage/mongodb/ /var/lib/mongodbSetting permissions
sudo chown mongodb:mongodb /block/storage/mongodb/Start MongoDB sudo service mongodb start
This is one method of doing it, you can also edit your MongoDB config file and set the
dbpathoption to block storage.
