I encountered the following warning after converting a mongodb replica set to a stand alone server. I did rs.remove('host') and removed the replSet arguments when starting the mongo db.
[root@sam ~]# mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.4.3
connecting to: test
Server has startup warnings:
Tue Jul 9 17:18:46.076 [initandlisten]
Tue Jul 9 17:18:46.076 [initandlisten] ** WARNING: mongod started without --replSet yet 1 documents are present in local.system.replset
