How big should be the disk?

@Hartmut Holzgraefe

The planet pbf currently has 62GB, and the Europe extract 24GB. A full planet import with all tags (–hstore-all) currently needs about 1TB, so half a TB should still be more than enough for just Europe …

(I did all of Europe on a server with 2x240GB SSD, but that was some five years ago. I then switched to whole planet on that machine, using the osm2pgsql feature to put indexes and actual table data on different tablespaces, and only having indexes on SSD, but that was “living on the edge” as that was just barely fast enough to catch up with diffs to keep the DB up to date, taking over 20 hours to import a daily diff back then)

Hi Hartmut!

Thank you very much.

So my 512GB SSD should be enogh…
I’ll build it in and start the import. I’ll let the forum know the result!
