 # appendfsync no
 
+# When the AOF fsync policy is set to always or everysec, and a background
+# saving process (a background save or AOF log background rewriting) is
+# performing a lot of I/O against the disk, in some Linux configurations
+# Redis may block too long on the fsync() call. Note that there is no fix for
+# this currently, as even performing fsync in a different thread will block
+# our synchronous write(2) call.
+#
+# In order to mitigate this problem it's possible to use the following option
+# that will prevent fsync() from being called in the main process while a
+# BGSAVE or BGREWRITEAOF is in progress.
+#
+# This means that while another child is saving the durability of Redis is
+# the same as "appendfsync none", that in pratical terms means that it is
+# possible to lost up to 30 seconds of log in the worst scenario (with the
+# default Linux settings).
+# 
+# If you have latency problems turn this to "yes". Otherwise leave it as
+# "no" that is the safest pick from the point of view of durability.
