Yes it makes sense to set this for --allinone demo setups

Comment 2 Eoghan Glynn 2014-01-02 10:45:15 UTC

Agreed that it would be useful to give users the option to use smallfiles for a *fresh* mongodb installation especially in the allinone case, though it would make less sense IMO for a *pre-existing* mongodb install.

The change required would be something along the lines of:

  sed -i '/--smallfiles/!s/OPTIONS=\"/OPTIONS=\"--smallfiles /' /etc/sysconfig/mongod

applied *before* the mongod service is started for the first time.

Re-categorizing to openstack-packstack, as this is where the modification is required.

Current packstack releases now set smallfiles => true.
