vm.overcommit_memory Parameter.

[Sairam M P]

Hi Redis-DB,

Whether redis-server dynamically detect the value of "vm.overcommit_memory" parameter ?. We are using CentOS-6.4. 

When starting the redis server the value of "vm.overcommit_memory" was 0. But after starting the redis server we have run "sysctl vm.overcommit_memory=1" to set this property to 1. Do we need to restart redis for redis to detect this change or will it take effect dynamically ? 

-Sairam.

It takes effect immediately. It's a kernel parameter, not a Redis-specific
one.
