prue420 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Sorry i am very new to this redis but why is my RedisQFork_6636.dat at 9 gigs? Is there anything I can do to lower it and what is actually in this that it would take up 9gb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedfox Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 It's how Redis is doing it's swapfile. http://redis.io/topics/virtual-memory 9Gb is nothing tbh on modern rigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prue420 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I don't mean memory I mean storage size when its running and I look at the file size its over 9gb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCold Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Redis generates a swap file of that size. In other words, it makes sure it has enough room to use for moving things about and in and out of 'memory' without actually using the real memory on the machine (the ram). It's a little extreme, but nothing you can do about it i don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
