I have the following docker command
docker run -v //c/data:/data/db mongo
and I get the following error response from docker / mongo

now when I remove the volume mongo works but I need to persist my data so I need to mount the volume somehow, just not sure what i am doing wrong at this point.
I do see the files appearing in my folder but not sure why I get the 100 error
To get around this, you can employ a tool like rsync to move the db files into mapped directory while Mongo is running. The underlying bug has to do with latency between the Windows mapped volume and that bind path within the container. Offloading the work to rsync decouples the latency from Mongo's runtime requirements.
Example
Create a basic Dockerfile like this:
FROM mongo:latest
RUN apt-get update && \
apt-get install -y \
rsync
ADD init.sh /init.sh
Where init.sh is:
#!/bin/bash
migrate_db() {
while true
do
rsync -avh /data/db/* /data/mapped-db
sleep 5
done
}
migrate_db &
#Execute a command
mongod --smallfiles --logpath=/dev/null --verbose &
#Wait
wait $!
Then, when launching the container, just start with ./init.sh as your ENTRYPOINT.
