It's serious? i see a different guy publish this AOF folder is a bug?

it is not serious, The AOF directory appendonlydir doesn't exist this one just a notice, but i can see it is indeed a confusion from your logs. is a bug? where did you see it, can you provide a link? it is not a bug, it was a feature (multi aof) introduced in redis7.0

Or i need to install it along with Redis?

no need

It is neccery this AOF folder? Or i can continue without that?

you can continue with it, and you can find more detail in here: https://github.com/redis/redis/blob/7.0.0/redis.conf#L1412

i also think this message could cause some confusion, maybe we should drop it? or rephrase it? @chenyang8094 WDYT?

You are very good team, wish other developers was like you. Respond quick, good support in general and amazing product too…

Remember me when you got rich, all of you hahaha :)

About the bug i not remember when i see it but i put in google search: The AOF directory appendonlydir doesn't exist

Not remember the POST but i see couples of peoples publish this as a bug or maybe a bug, but i not trust, nobody except the guy create the software (you guys). So i decided to respond here, it's much better and i learn Redis on the way. :) Except that you answer so fast @enjoy-binbin hahaha you are fantastic.

From my experience, The best practice is the developer recommendation.
