<para>
By default MongoDB is configured to create several 1 GB files
in the <filename>/var/lib/mongodb/journal/</filename> directory
to support database journaling.
</para>
<para>
If you need to minimize the space allocated to support database
journaling then set the <option>smallfiles</option> configuration
key to <literal>true</literal> in the <filename>/etc/mongodb.conf</filename>
configuration file. This will reduce the size of each journaling file
to 512 MB.
</para>
<para os="ubuntu;debian">
As the files are created the first time the MongoDB service starts
you must stop the service and remove the files for this change to
take effect:
