Mohamad, based on your previous error I assume you're using the 
--bounding-box task.  It's important that you provide the entire command 
line, not just the start of it because the information is important.

Anyway, you may want to check out 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis/DetailedUsage#--bounding-box_.28--bb.29
Specifically, try setting the idTrackerType option to the --bounding-box 
task.  For example:
--bounding-box left=x right=x top=x bottom=x idTrackerType=BitSet

The BitSet implementation is much more efficient when extracting large 
bounding box areas but less efficient for smaller areas.  The default is 
IdList.
