On one of the CycleStreets machines it takes 17.3 hours to extract and merge data from the Britain and Ireland GeoFabrik planets using:
osmosis -v 100 --read-xml data/osm/downloads/great_britain.osm enableDateParsing=no --sort-0.6 type="TypeThenId" --read-xml data/osm/downloads/ireland.osm enableDateParsing=no --sort-0.6 type="TypeThenId" --merge --write-apidb dbType=mysql host=localhost database=britainOSM user=import password=xxx validateSchemaVersion=no (On our main machine the same only takes about 5 hours.) During that time it builds an 11 GB innodb file in /var/lib/mysql/ibdata1 Osmosis fills the britainOSM database, which I then treat as 'read only' to build the CycleStreets routing tables in a separate database. As I'm only filling a database and then treating it as read-only do I really need all the transaction processing that is provided by innodb? Is there a way of turning those features off to speed up all the processing and use less disk space?
