What version of Redis you are using, in what kind of Operating System?
Redis 2.2.8 on FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE
What is the problem you are experiencing?
When putting the swap file in a partition that has a smaller size than the size
requested in the config, redis happily preallocates it, but it won't actually
be able to fill it entirely, so I assume it will fail when the partition is
full. It would be much better to check this beforehand and fail on startup if
this is the case, as it is likely a configuration error.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Have a /tmp partition of 1.0G in size, put the redis swap at /tmp/redis.swap,
with a size of 4.0G.
Doing "ls -l /tmp/redis.swap" will show a 4.0G file, but it won't be able to
fill it of course.
