Restart mongod service after digital ocean hard reboot due to permission issue / wired tiger files corruption

So after Digital Ocean gave absolutely no warning and hard rebooted our servers, everything was fine except, big surprise, the MongoDB servers! I have finally fixed the configuration files, only to realize they were fine all along, and have concluded that there is some kind of a permission issue. I am attempting to restart the mongod service and pull from the log files. Also sorry, but I updated the question twice with more information and Digital Ocean then rejected it as spam so I am attempting to post again.

When I run the command chown -R mongodb:mongodb /mongo-metadata/ ,

Afterwards we do a “sudo service mongod restart” and the status we get is:

root@mongoprimary:/mongo-metadata# sudo service mongod status

the output of my log file to better understand the error:

After I run a db repair command (both with and without sudo), command I run:
“mongod --repair --dbpath /mongo-metadata --storageEngine wiredTiger”

Last line of the output repair function:

Please help me get the mongoDB servers back up and running. I have contacted Digital Ocean 3 times and still have heard no response, it is so frustrating that I was literally in the hospital when they notified me of this hard reboot and do absolutely nothing to help fix the problem they created :( I won’t dispute my configuration is less than ideal, if not downright shitty, but some communication on their part would go along way, even if it consisted of you’re a dumbass. Instead of lets hard reboot your server and ignore you since we don’t give a shit that we crashed your apps.

Will definitely get anyone who helps me fix this problem a beer / whiskey / joint of their choosing :) Thank you!
