默认情况下，redis的最大内存是不限制的，如下：

127.0.0.1:30003> CONFIG GET maxmemory
1) "maxmemory"
2) "0"

我把它修改成了100M，然后向里面插数据：

127.0.0.1:30003> CONFIG SET maxmemory 100
OK
127.0.0.1:30003> CONFIG GET maxmemory
1) "maxmemory"
2) "100"

当内存达到接近100M的时候，出现以下错误：

(error) OOM command not allowed when used memory > 'maxmemory'.

这个时候可以理解。接下来我用FLUSHDB将数据库清空，用INFO查看：

192.168.10.15:30005> FLUSHDB
OK
192.168.10.15:30005> INFO

可以看到，redis使用的内存几乎清空，这个时候我再插数据：

192.168.10.15:30005> set a 1
(error) OOM command not allowed when used memory > 'maxmemory'.

仍然出现了这个错误。

后来才发现，是单位的原因，我以为CONFIG SET maxmemory 100的单位是M，实际上不是：

maxmemory:100
maxmemory_human:100B

单位其实是Byte，怪不得出现这个错误了，将大小设置成100000000之后，就没出现错误了。

maxmemory:100000000
maxmemory_human:95.37M
