I deployed a container with MongoDB on the server. The container has its own volume where MongoDB data is stored. The database is very small, 6 collections and no more than 40 documents (some removed, some added).
Every time I view the size of the volume, I see it increase (about once in 10 minutes):
520MB 0B (0%)
520.1MB 0B (0%)
520.2MB 0B (0%)
If I make a backup of the database, delete the volume and redeploy the container, the space will be freed up (all database data is intact), the result is:
315.6MB 0B (0%)
315.7MB 0B (0%)
315.8MB 0B (0%)
Why is this happening? The base is very small and almost never used.
This is my result of db.stats(1024 * 1024)
command:
