I'm running a 7 node mongodb sharded cluster (version 2.4...).
I would like to merge this into a standalone shard with 7 times the disk-space.
I've tried to create the single shard instance and running:
db.copyDatabase('dbname', 'dbname', 'hostname_of_mongos:27017')
On it. And it starts ok, and the just hangs with no progress.
I've also tried:
db.runCommand({ copydb: 1, fromdb: "dbame", todb: "dbname", fromhost: 'hostname_of_mongos:27017' })
with no succes. Can it be done, and how should I do it?
