Yeah. Also, as Toby says, it's pretty much "totally overloaded", and has been for the last few months.
What's happened recently was that the updates broke for a few weeks, and were restarted last Wednesday. The disk cache then filled up completely on Friday, so there was only a small window for the tiles to be re-rendered. Space was freed up on Monday, and then rendering was stopped again on Wednesday for the next scheduled update. I estimate it would take about 10-12 days to update all the tiles, and there simply hasn't been very many days in the last week where the system has been updating - and because it wasn't updating for three weeks before that, some tiles are seriously out of date. They should sort themselves out, over the next week or so. As for the new server that's being mentioned, that's being set up at the moment. New host, new hardware, new software (mainly newer versions of mapnik and osm2pgsql). Unfortunately it's not as fast as I'd hoped, and I'm seriously concerned about whether it'll be able to take the load! Running osm2pgsql in slim mode is soaking up much of the hardware improvements. We'll see how it goes, but I'm confident the whole thing is moving in the right direction. It starts coming down to questions of time and money, and I only have a limited supply of both :-) Cheers, Andy On Thu, Jun 24, 2010 at 4:54 PM, Shaun McDonald <sh...@shaunmcdonald.me.uk> wrote: > Hi Gregory, > Your a little out of date of the way that the cycle map is run.
