In docs, I found the following statement:
IMPORTANT Always use file system snapshots to create a copy of an element of an existing replica set. Do not use mongodump and mongorestore to launch a new replica set item.
- what i need to do if my FS does not support snapshots and
- why is this limitation here at all? Previously, you could use the mongodump snapshots you created to add new rs members (edit: if I'm not mistaken).
