Do not use 32bit MongoDB in production

[olizilla]

On a 32 bit OS, Mongo can only store a max of 2GB of data total and turns journaling off, to reduce the space requirements, at the expense of increasing the risk of DB corruption in the event of a hard shutdown. Huzzah.

From the mongo db log:

"NOTE: This is a 32 bit MongoDB binary.32 bit builds are limited to less than 2GB of data (or less with --journal). Note that journaling defaults to off for 32 bit and is currently off."
