+### Pidfile location must be writable
+Starting with version 2.0.0, the pidfile location you specify or the *default*
+location (`/tmp/redis.pid`) if you don't specify **must be writable** or
+guard-redis will fail to start.
+
+**If you specify a pidfile location via the configuration and the directory path
+doesn't exist, guard-redis will attempt to create it**. If it cannot write to that
+directory, you will see an error and redis will fail to start.
