I know if you restart memcached the data is lost. What about when an update happens? I am not 100% sure even how to do an update, but I think yum will do it automatically and it would be very bad if the data was flushed on update.

Yes, the service will be restarted when the package is updated.
Unless you have something running yum update
automatically, you can control when the update happens; schedule it for off-hours when the rebuilding of cache won't hurt too much.

I am using memcache for php sessions so I wouldn't want to do a restart at any point. Is there a way to keep the data? Jul 6, 2014 at 19:45

3@ChrisMuench Not that I know of. I'd recommend Redis instead if you need data persistence and/or replication. Jul 6, 2014 at 19:48
