Hello list, I am trying to import the planet file into PostgreSQL/PostGIS.
I was already in contact with Jon Burgess, the author of the tool because I had a "Segmentation fault" after some hours of processing. He suggested to try the "--slim" option., although it makes the process very slow. I tried it (without changing the default 800MB cache setting). So this is where I am after 23 hours! of processing: @23:37: Node(296117k) Way (18324k) Relation(0k). @18:12: Node(296117k) Way (11777k) Relation(0k). So the "Ways" are no increasing very slowly with about 1 Way/ 4 sec. How many ways are supposed to be there? How long should it take to run osm2pgsql with the planet- latest.osm.bz2 file? This is my set up: Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.66Ghz 2GB RAM swap disk 4GB Ubuntu 8.10 Should I restart the whole process? I think it has gotten way to slow and it is not worth waiting. I can try and give the process more memory with the --cache option. How much shoud I give? Is there a way to make use of both CPUs? How do I set the priority of osm2pgsql to the max? Thanks a lot for any advice! Ivo _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
