Dear list, I am trying to use Osm-in-a-box to keep a synchronized Postgis DB.
I am doing a little test with the data of Iceland which should be about 0.06 % of the whole OSM database (size of iceland.osm.bz2 is about 8 MB) and it seems to be very slow (took 2 hours) The command was: sudo ./osm2gis.sh --initial-import -h localhost -d osmiceland -u postgres -p postgres -f /mnt/data/iceland_25_01_2011.osm.bz2 With a simple rule of three, we should expect that the whole planet would need 2 * 1600 = 3200 hours (about 4 months) to be imported. Any general thoughts about Osm-in-a-box? Anybody is keeping a synchronized DB by using OSM-in-a-box? Is there a better mailing list than this to get help about this?
