Nooooooooooooooo!
So to try and repair the situation. Remember I'm a home tinkering geek who wants to help fellow geeks, not a hard-core IT professional. Hence please don't scoff at me if you think this is easy stuff.
A quick search of the excellent MongoDB help documentation told me to look in the MongoDB log file for clues. Here's what I saw:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ tail /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log

(Key notable things shown in red). Earlier this week we had a power cut which would have caused this unclean shutdown and appearance of the mongod.lock file.
So to fix it!
Looking at the weblink above it told me to do two things. Firstly find and delete the mongod.lock file. So I did:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd /var/lib/mongodb
pi@raspberrypi:/var/lib/
-rw-r--r-- 1 mongodb nogroup 5 Feb 21 10:18 mongod.lock
pi@raspberrypi:/var/lib/
Secondly run a command to repair the database. So I did:
pi@raspberrypi:/var/lib/

(Key notable things shown in red). So still not working, arghhhh!
In terms of journaling, more on that at the end of this post. In terms of the lack of /data/db, this was weird because I'd never created this directory nor known it to be there. However never one to ignore a direct piece of device I did:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd /
pi@raspberrypi:/ $ sudo mkdir data
pi@raspberrypi:/ $ cd data
pi@raspberrypi:/data $ sudo mkdir db
pi@raspberrypi:/data $ cd db
...and then...
pi@raspberrypi:/data/db $ sudo mongod --repair

A warning but no errors which is good!
I could then do:
pi@raspberrypi:/data/db $ sudo service mongodb start
...and check it quickly by doing this in a browser:
Joy of joy, we're back in the room!!
So I could then do:
pi@raspberrypi:/data/db $ sudo mongo
MongoDB shell version: 3.0.9
connecting to: test

switched to db Footie
Let the fun begin!!
A point on "journaling" (which is mentioned again above). The MongoDB help pages state:
To provide durability in the event of a failure, MongoDB uses write ahead logging to on-disk journal files.
...and
With journaling, the recovery process:
- Looks in the data files to find the identifier of the last checkpoint.
- Searches in the journal files for the record that matches the identifier of the last checkpoint.
- Apply the operations in the journal files since the last checkpoint.
...so looks like something that could have helped me with my power cut. I think I'll just shutdown MongoDB at the end of each session.
