+################################ VIRTUAL MEMORY ###############################
+
+# Virtual Memory allows Redis to work with datasets bigger than the actual
+# amount of RAM needed to hold the whole dataset in memory.
+# In order to do so very used keys are taken in memory while the other keys
+# are swapped into a swap file, similarly to what operating systems do
+# with memory pages.
+#
+# To enable VM just set 'vm-enabled' to yes, and set the following three
+# VM parameters accordingly to your needs.

+
+# This is the path of the Redis swap file. As you can guess, swap files
+# can't be shared by different Redis instances, so make sure to use a swap
+# file for every redis process you are running.
+#
+# The swap file name may contain "%p" that is substituted with the PID of
+# the Redis process, so the default name /tmp/redis-%p.vm will work even
+# with multiple instances as Redis will use, for example, redis-811.vm
+# for one instance and redis-593.vm for another one.
+#
+# Useless to say, the best kind of disk for a Redis swap file (that's accessed
+# at random) is a Solid State Disk (SSD).
+#
+# *** WARNING *** if you are using a shared hosting the default of putting
+# the swap file under /tmp is not secure. Create a dir with access granted
+# only to Redis user and configure Redis to create the swap file there.

+# a lot of space. If you page is too small, there is less space in the swap
+# file (assuming you configured the same number of total swap file pages).
