<p>I am creating the below mongodb statefulset which creates 3 replicas but when I run the code I get the below error and all pods are in CrashLoopBackOff state.</p>

<p>This is the error which I get when I try kubectl create -f </p>

<pre><code>Error parsing command line: unrecognised option '--smallfiles'

<p><code>--smallfiles</code> is not supported in newest mongo (4.2) you can check it in <a href="https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/program/mongod/" rel="noreferrer">doc</a>, you are not specifying image tag so newest <code>latest</code> is pull in this case mongo 4.2. </p>

<p>If you set <code>image: mongo:4.0</code> your configuration should be correct.</p>
