I'm having problems with MongoDB excessive use of space. I had a Collection using 8 GB of space. I was trying to compact this space using mongo command "db.repairDatabase()" but it got worst. The Collection now uses 11 GB of space! I found the "compact" command could be useful in that way, but it increased use of space to 17 GB!

Could anyone help me with this problem?

No, I'm a little afraid to drop a database that is used on production. – Antonio Oct 09 '14 at 19:32
I have this same problem. I "compacted" a collection and free space went from 15gb to 6.6gb! Quite the opposite of my intentions. – k1DBLITZ Aug 05 '15 at 15:43
