Known Causes

4 known causes
⚠️
Excessive Data Divergence
A replica set member became isolated for an extended period, accumulating too many divergent operations to be automatically rolled back.
⚠️
Insufficient Rollback File Capacity
The configured `rollback_file_size_limit` was too small to store all necessary operations for the rollback process.
⚠️
Disk Space Exhaustion
The server ran out of available disk space, preventing MongoDB from writing the necessary rollback files.
⚠️
Underlying Data Corruption
Corruption or inconsistency in the data files on the attempting-to-rollback member prevented a successful state reversal.
