Not sure, but I always through that when you made a change using tmsh command that is changed the config in memory, that is the "running config".

 

 

Then when you issue the" tmsh sys save config" or "tmsh sys save" command it copies the "running config" to the conf files.

 

 

If you edit the .conf files manually you need to do a "tmsh sys load" config or "tmsh sys load base-config" to copy these files to the "running config."
