Hi OSM,<br>
<br>
The OSM tile server has been upgraded over the last few days. Changes<br>
should now appear much quicker on the map.<br>
<br>
Many thanks to Jon Burgess, the Mapnik.org guys and the others for<br>
making this happen.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Great work! Thanks! I'm sure greater 'instant satisfaction' will be motivating to many. It is to me.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

Technical:<br>
The rendering database was switched to an Intel 320 Series 600GB SSD<br>
disk, from 4x 300GB 10K rpm in RAID10. PG8.3 -> PostgreSQL 9 with GIN<br>
Index FASTUPDATE disabled. Rendering has also switched to Mapnik2 svn<br>
r2875.<br>
The full DB reload into PG9 used approximately 1TB of the SSD write<br>
capacity of a rating of 60TB. Now that only diffs are being applied<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Does that mean that those drives are only certified / guaranteed for 60TB worth of write operations?</div></div>-- <br>
