I’m running an importer that I’ve written and get an error complaining about Redis. I’ve never seen this. I’ve not had a chance to look more closely at the message yet for clues there. Any ideas on this?

This is on a development instance.

MISCONF Redis is configured to save RDB snapshots, but is currently not able to persist on disk. Commands that may modify the data set are disabled. Please check Redis logs for details about the error.
