I am using mongodb-v1.8.1. Unfortunately my server gets hanged and I restarted my server. Once it comes back I could not start the MongoDB. I removed the mongo.lock file and ran repair database query.

Now mongo working fine. I am baffled with the mongo.lock file. What is the use of the mongo.lock file? Removing the mongo.lock file will affect my existing data?

Please let me know your suggestion...

Thanks
