The main point of the post is that if there's a configuration you expect to work, you need to test it, independent of whether or not it's supported by the author. I can think of a dozen other distributed system failures I've seen that happened despite using stock configuration — this particular failure was simply a recent example, and helps illustrate why game days are so valuable. On the plus side, Antirez has said that this configuration will soon be supported: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8522630 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8522630 (thanks Antirez!), so future users will be able to run in this configuration safely.
