Mongorestore finishing with Error "collection already exists"

[David Nellessen]

I restored a database with mongorestore and the last output I get is

Tue Dec 17 21:42:19 going into namespace [mydb.locations_523f256eea84d339305d6de0]

assertion: 15936 Creating collection mydb.locations_523f256eea84d339305d6de0 failed. Errmsg: collection already exists

I don't care so much if this specific collection was imported. But does this error stop the entire import process or can I expect the rest to be imported correctly?

What version is this?  Normally you just get a warning if a collection already exists (you have an option to use --drop which will drop collection before restoring more data into it).

It is version 2.2. I have upgraded to 2.4 in the meantime. mongorestore is not showing an error anymore though this could be due to a drastic change in database structure. I don't have the old dump anymore for testing.
