-# WARNING: maxmemory can be a good idea mainly if you want to use Redis as a
-# 'state' server or cache, not as a real DB. When Redis is used as a real
-# database the memory usage will grow over the weeks, it will be obvious if
-# it is going to use too much memory in the long run, and you'll have the time
-# to upgrade. With maxmemory after the limit is reached you'll start to get
-# errors for write operations, and this may even lead to DB inconsistency.
+# When the memory limit is reached Redis will try to remove keys
+# accordingly to the eviction policy selected (see maxmemmory-policy).
+#
+# If Redis can't remove keys according to the policy, or if the policy is
+# set to 'noeviction', Redis will start to reply with errors to commands
+# that would use more memory, like SET, LPUSH, and so on, and will continue
+# to reply to read-only commands like GET.
+#
+# This option is usually useful when using Redis as an LRU cache, or to set
+# an hard memory limit for an instance (using the 'noeviction' policy).
+#
+# WARNING: If you have slaves attached to an instance with maxmemory on,
+# the size of the output buffers needed to feed the slaves are subtracted
+# from the used memory count, so that network problems / resyncs will
+# not trigger a loop where keys are evicted, and in turn the output
+# buffer of slaves is full with DELs of keys evicted triggering the deletion
+# of more keys, and so forth until the database is completely emptied.
+#
+# In short... if you have slaves attached it is suggested that you set a lower
+# limit for maxmemory so that there is some free RAM on the system for slave
+# output buffers (but this is not needed if the policy is 'noeviction').
