### Description I have RocketChat server with FileSystem storage setting for uploaded files. Uploading/downloading uploaded files works fine. But when I export rocketchat data by `mongodump -o` command I got **`rocketchat_uploads.chunks.bson`** and **`rocketchat_uploads.files.bson`** are empty as a result. I guess these files must not be empty. Isn’t it due to some collections corruption? What should I do to fix it? Mongodump -o execution performs without any errors or warnings. ### Server Setup Information - Version of Rocket.Chat Server: 6.4.2 - Operating System: CentOS 7 - Deployment Method: docker - Number of Running Instances: 1 - DB Replicaset Oplog: - NodeJS Version: 14.21.3 - MongoDB Version: 5.0.18 - Proxy: - Firewalls involved: no ### Any additional Information **Dump files list after `mongodump -o

I guess these files must not be empty. Isn’t it due to some collections corruption? Use something like Studio 3T to view/browse the collections. I think those two are related to files stored within GridFS so they should be empty if you are using file storage. Usually they have a bit in there as users test with GridFS and then switch and don’t bother clearing it out. I think you will find file storage uses rocketchat\_uploads to store links. > [@someadmin](#): > > What should I do to fix it? Nothing to fix as far as I can see. Apart from upgrading ASAP… ---
