How to tell if you are sharding?

[Nestor Ledon]

How would I know my collection is being sharded?

I capped Shard1 at 1000 in an attempt to force it to shard, but running "show colections" on Shard2 yields nothing.

-_- scratch that. Capped collections aren't shard-able.

I think you are mixing up capped collections and shard maxSize

http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/commands/#addShard

If you specified 1000 as maxSize that's 1000MB. 

A better way to force chunks to balance (sharding) is to limit chunkSize (say set it to 1MB) - just do this for test purposes though. 

You can check sharding status by connecting to mongos and running

sh.status()

Thank you for your reply. I was definitely getting them mixed up.
