When I run the mongod --dbpath /data/db command to start MongoDB, I get the following error message:
oot@vps [/]# mongod --dbpath /data/db

I am new to MondoDB and Linux servers, so really not sure where to start with this, there doesn't seem to be any usefull info in the error.
Has anyone else had anything similar? Or any ideas on where to start with fixing it?

In my case this turned out to be caused by not enough memory
I concluded this after running some of the commands found in this article: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-check-memory-usage/
egrep --color 'Mem|Cache|Swap' /proc/meminfowill output how much memory is available. Don't forget that Mongo itself will require memory, so even if you have got a bit of free mem, it may not be enough.I restarted my server, which killed a few of the memory sucking processes, and this for now has solved my problem.
