Good call. Grepping now. Might take a while. :)
If Jon's suspicion is true (likely), download the full planet file instead and run osm2pgsql with a bounding box option to restrict it to the US.
1) Trying to use osm2pgsql to import the merged .pbf file directly died with a generic error immediately (as opposed to importing the merged XML, which dies 10-15 minutes in). Maybe an error in Osmosis' pbf handling?
Do you remember what the error was? Just a hunch - is it possible that the Osmosis code relies on a HeaderBlock but the files have none?
2) What's the expected behavior for Osmosis when merging contiguous but non-overlapping extracts? Would I have gotten the same problem if I'd started with .osm.bz2 ?
Yes, Osmosis does not have a de-duplication option. Furthermore, since Geofabrik extracts are all done with clipIncompleteEntities=true, any simple de-duplication would you leave with either one or the other half of a split-boundary-crossing way.
On the whole, re-combining the split files is not such a good idea. Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail [email protected] ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
