77# so for example it is possible to configure the slave to save the DB with a

92f8e882 104# is able to open. The special value '0' means no limits.

3fd78bcd 110# Don't use more memory than the specified amount of bytes.
111# When the memory limit is reached Redis will try to remove keys with an
112# EXPIRE set. It will try to start freeing keys that are going to expire
113# in little time and preserve keys with a longer time to live.
114# Redis will also try to remove objects from free lists if possible.
115#
116# If all this fails, Redis will start to reply with errors to commands

123# it is going to use too much memory in the long run, and you'll have the time
124# to upgrade. With maxmemory after the limit is reached you'll start to get

44b38ef4 129############################## APPEND ONLY MODE ###############################
130
131# By default Redis asynchronously dumps the dataset on disk. If you can live
132# with the idea that the latest records will be lost if something like a crash
133# happens this is the preferred way to run Redis. If instead you care a lot
134# about your data and don't want to that a single record can get lost you should
135# enable the append only mode: when this mode is enabled Redis will append
136# every write operation received in the file appendonly.log. This file will
137# be read on startup in order to rebuild the full dataset in memory.
138#
139# Note that you can have both the async dumps and the append only file if you
140# like (you have to comment the "save" statements above to disable the dumps).
141# Still if append only mode is enabled Redis will load the data from the
142# log file at startup ignoring the dump.rdb file.
0154acdc 143#
144# The name of the append only file is "appendonly.log"
49b99ab4 145#
146# IMPORTANT: Check the BGREWRITEAOF to check how to rewrite the append
147# log file in background when it gets too big.

4e141d5a 151# The fsync() call tells the Operating System to actually write data on disk
48f0308a 152# instead to wait for more data in the output buffer. Some OS will really flush
153# data on disk, some other OS will just try to do it ASAP.
154#
155# Redis supports three different modes:
156#
157# no: don't fsync, just let the OS flush the data when it wants. Faster.
158# always: fsync after every write to the append only log . Slow, Safest.
159# everysec: fsync only if one second passed since the last fsync. Compromise.
160#
6766f45e 161# The default is "everysec" that's usually the right compromise between
162# speed and data safety. It's up to you to understand if you can relax this to
163# "no" that will will let the operating system flush the output buffer when
164# it wants, for better performances (but if you can live with the idea of
165# some data loss consider the default persistence mode that's snapshotting),
166# or on the contrary, use "always" that's very slow but a bit safer than
167# everysec.

176
4ef8de8a 177# Virtual Memory allows Redis to work with datasets bigger than the actual
178# amount of RAM needed to hold the whole dataset in memory.
179# In order to do so very used keys are taken in memory while the other keys
180# are swapped into a swap file, similarly to what operating systems do
181# with memory pages.

190# can't be shared by different Redis instances, so make sure to use a swap
191# file for every redis process you are running.
192#
193# The swap file name may contain "%p" that is substituted with the PID of
194# the Redis process, so the default name /tmp/redis-%p.vm will work even
195# with multiple instances as Redis will use, for example, redis-811.vm
196# for one instance and redis-593.vm for another one.
