Question

so im trying to dump a collection on mongodump through stdout so i can directly pipe it and gzip it. But it’s giving me errors.

When i do:

mongodump --db test -u username -p Password -h mymongodatabase.onthecloud:12888 -vvvvv --collection posts --out -

it displays these errors:

Wed Feb 29 21:48:13 creating new connection to:mymongodatabase.onthecloud:12888
Wed Feb 29 21:48:13 BackgroundJob starting: ConnectBG
Wed Feb 29 21:48:13 connected connection!

Wed Feb 29 21:48:13 nextSafe(): { $err: "unauthorized db:test lock type:-1 client:10.3.55.10", code: 10057 }
Wed Feb 29 21:48:13 User Assertion: 13106:nextSafe(): { $err: "unauthorized db:test lock type:-1 client:10.3.55.10", code: 10057 }
assertion: 13106 nextSafe(): { $err: "unauthorized db:test lock type:-1 client:10.3.55.10", code: 10057 }

but when i dunt include ‘–out -‘ it dumps the collection fine (doesn’t give me aunauthorized error). What’s going on?
