What potential pitfalls should developers be aware of when working with PHP sessions on servers with specific configurations?

Developers should be aware that some server configurations may limit the amount of storage available for PHP sessions, leading to potential data loss or session expiration. To address this issue, developers can adjust the session storage settings in their PHP configuration to increase the storage capacity for sessions. 

// Increase session storage capacity
ini_set('session.save_path', '/path/to/custom/session/storage');
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 3600); // Set session expiration time to 1 hour
