Bootstrap failed: 5: Input/output error Error: Failure while executing

Question

Please help me with the solution as i am trying to install mongodb via brew on mac M1 air.

It is throwing me this error

Bootstrap failed: 5: Input/output error
Error: Failure while executing;
/bin/launchctl bootstrap gui/501 /Users/shrirajdesai/Library/LaunchAgents/[email protected]
exited with 5.

Check the logs (probably in /opt/homebrew/var/log/mongodb) what is the problem and add here some more information so we can try to help you. — heilala

I had a similar error when I tried to run brew services restart postgresql and I got this error:

 Bootstrap failed: 5: Input/output error
 Error: Failure while executing; /bin/launchctl bootstrap gui/501 /Users/user/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist exited with 5.

This solution worked for me: brew services. Cant start service. get "Bootstrap failed: 5: Input/output error"

In my case I replaced the mongodb-community with postgresql. I am currently running macOS Big Sur version 11.6.2.
