I am running manjaro Linux - not my usual flavour of linux, but I’m having real trouble getting the service working on this distribution. I have mongo 4 installed as follows
> MongoDB shell version v4.0.3

I have created the mongo /data folder and given permission and mongod (daemon runs). I can then use the mongo command which all works. But I cannot get the service running using systemctrl. For example:
sudo systemctl start mongod
gives
Failed to start mongod.service: Unit mongod.service is masked.
But I cannot unmask this using sudo systemctl unmask mongod.service. This makes no difference. How can I reliably get the service running?
