Tried to comment on the post, but so far still "Awaiting Moderation". I have never heard reports of missing documents w/ a production release of MongoDB (or a dev release, for that matter). Would love to help debug whatever issue he saw, but will need more info than that post gives.

Hey Mike, I'll get in contact with you shortly once I pull some logs. We've been analyzing the data and it seems that where we lose data coincides with some system reboots, we had a few problems with replication a few weeks ago, and had it disabled, so that's likely why we are seeing loss.

Mike, you must have super ears. Let it be a testament to how much you care about MongoDB that I see you very often popping up offering to personally lend a hand helping someone who is having a problem. The handful of production environments I have either used MongoDB in or know of have never had a problem of missing documents when using a production release (or even 1.5).

Thanks! Glad to hear that the effort is appreciated :). We all try pretty hard to make sure everyone has a good experience with MongoDB.
