mongod doesn't start with --fork option

Hi

I'm trying to start mongod with the following command:

"mongod --replSet s0 --pidfilepath "$HOME/data/s0-r0.pid" --logpath "$HOME/data/s0-r0.log" --dbpath "$HOME/data/shard0/rs0" --port 37017 --fork --shardsvr --smallfiles"

In return I have the following message:
"about to fork child process, waiting until server is ready for connections."
this message hangs forever.

all paths are available.

Without "--fork" option mongod runs fine.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Vadym

Hi,

I don't have the solution, but I have the same problem you have and, until now, my googlefoo doesn't help a lot.

Did you find anything about that ?

Thanks,

Nicolas

Same version, same problem. I solved using nohup, but would love to have --fork working.
