About this question

I want to migrate my mongodb from 2.0 to 3.0. So I followed the official doc to use mongodump to back up my dbs and use mongorestore to restore the dbs to mongodb 3.0.

But when I use mongorestore, it tells me "don't know what to do with file "db/collection.bson", skipping...".

Nothing to do. How could I migrate my dbs?

Thanks.

EDIT: Here are my steps.

Use mongodump in mongodb 2.0

mongodump
tree dump
    db
    ├── collection-1.bson
    ├── collection-2.bson
    ├── collection-3.bson
    ├── ...

Copy db directory to mongodb 3.0 server.

On the mongodb 3.0 server calls mongorestore db

But I get this error:
