Is it possible to make Dragonfly fail on startup if it can't load the snapshot?

[mlazowik]

We had a case where there was a temporary problem with accessing our snapshots storage (Minio), and looks like Dragonfly still started up, with an empty database. Is there a flag to make it fail on startup if it can't read the snapshot?

Hi @mlazowik
Currently if the loading failed due to error in the file/reading we exit. But if the path does not exist we just print warning. We dont have a flag to change this behavior

Thanks. In our case we’re storing snapshots in S3 (Minio), and had a temporary access denied error. Looks like that did not cause an exit

Not sure if this was by design. You can open a github bug on this and we will follow up on this. Please add there the log message you got
