BGREWRITE
Fix Redis BGREWRITE Error
Description
This error indicates that a background append-only file (AOF) rewrite process is already running. Redis only allows one AOF rewrite process to run at a time to prevent performance degradation.
Error Message
ERR Background append only file rewriting already in progress
Known Causes
3 known causesConcurrent BGREWRITE commands
Another `BGREWRITEAOF` command was issued while one was already in progress. Redis prevents overlapping rewrites.
Scheduled BGREWRITE execution
Redis may automatically schedule an AOF rewrite based on configuration parameters. A manually triggered rewrite will fail if one is scheduled.
Previous Rewrite Failure
A previous AOF rewrite might have failed and left a lock preventing new rewrites from starting.
