44b38ef4 147############################## APPEND ONLY MODE ###############################
148
149# By default Redis asynchronously dumps the dataset on disk. If you can live
150# with the idea that the latest records will be lost if something like a crash
151# happens this is the preferred way to run Redis. If instead you care a lot
152# about your data and don't want to that a single record can get lost you should
153# enable the append only mode: when this mode is enabled Redis will append
4005fef1 154# every write operation received in the file appendonly.aof. This file will
44b38ef4 155# be read on startup in order to rebuild the full dataset in memory.
156#
157# Note that you can have both the async dumps and the append only file if you
158# like (you have to comment the "save" statements above to disable the dumps).
159# Still if append only mode is enabled Redis will load the data from the
160# log file at startup ignoring the dump.rdb file.
0154acdc 161#
49b99ab4 162# IMPORTANT: Check the BGREWRITEAOF to check how to rewrite the append
163# log file in background when it gets too big.

48f0308a 171# instead to wait for more data in the output buffer. Some OS will really flush
172# data on disk, some other OS will just try to do it ASAP.
173#
174# Redis supports three different modes:
175#
176# no: don't fsync, just let the OS flush the data when it wants. Faster.
177# always: fsync after every write to the append only log . Slow, Safest.
178# everysec: fsync only if one second passed since the last fsync. Compromise.
179#
6766f45e 180# The default is "everysec" that's usually the right compromise between
181# speed and data safety. It's up to you to understand if you can relax this to
182# "no" that will will let the operating system flush the output buffer when
183# it wants, for better performances (but if you can live with the idea of
184# some data loss consider the default persistence mode that's snapshotting),
185# or on the contrary, use "always" that's very slow but a bit safer than
