The reason is that, when the code was written, all files were stored on a local disk. NFS only came into play when the [EMAIL PROTECTED] server moved to a different machine. Given that we will move away from NFS again, nobody seems to have invested time to optimize for NFS access. > When doing this stuff on local disks, there wouldn't be much difference > when doing the extraction into a ram disk and operation on the files > there compared to extracting the files to the correct volume and doing > the necessary there. Yes, that is what we found on the dev server too. > I wasn't able to do a verification of this theory so far, and it wouldn't > be a big speedup, but we're currently on the limit, so everything can > help. Everything can help, but moving away from a NFS attached disk should be the lowest hanging fruit that would make many of the proposed solutions redundant, I'd gues. spaetz _______________________________________________ Tilesathome mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tilesathome
