Hi Rajesh!

More information is needed here.  Did you happen to store your data files on an NFS file system?  What's the output of 'mount -l' and 'df -h'?

Hi William,

Iam storing the data files on a NFS file system. Mongodb is stored in /export  

Please find the details of df -h

Hi Rajesh!

Your problem is due to storing your data files on a NFS file system.  We strongly advise against this, since it can lead to data loss.

Is this installation a member of a replica set?  If you have another replica with the same data, you can sync this node from another member of the set and recover the data that way.

If there aren't any other members of the set that you can sync from, then you'll need to recover the data from the OS-level corruption.  

Instructions are here: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/recover-data-following-unexpected-shutdown/
