unable to run a mongoDb container in docker for windows using linux file system

Question

I am trying to run a mongo db container in windows with a volume mapping to a windows folder.

I have followed the answer by babak in this question. The folder maps properly, but it creates lots of files named WiredTiger.wt.1 where the number at the end keeps incrementing.

I get the following lines in the log:

2020-06-12T12:49:11.431+0000 I STORAGE [initandlisten] WiredTiger message unexpected file WiredTiger.wt found, renamed to WiredTiger.wt.13233

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Thanks

As for me, such docker-compose.yml makes mongo start working:

version: '3.3'
services:
  mongodb:
    image: mongo
    container_name: mongodb
    volumes:
      - mongodata:/data/db
    ports:
      - 27017:27017
volumes:
  mongodata:
