07:27:18 GMT danemacmillan: it makes perfect sense. to traverse a directory you need execute permissions on it. since redis runs under the redis user which is neither root or in the root group, you need to have o+x on /root for it to work. but storing it elsewhere (like /etc!) is a better idea anyway 07:27:48 GMT felixjet: you can't make redis not store all its data in memory 22:13:52 GMT Anyone here using node-redis?
