[OSM-dev] [Tilesathome] XAPI gone?

[80n]

There was a recent disk outage on hypercube.  The server is now back up and
the database is currently being recovered.  The service should be back
shortly.

Additionally, now that Fafnir (xapi.openstreetmap.org) has some decent disks
the XAPI service is being restarted on that server.  It should be available
by the end of this week.

The third XAPI instance at Bearstech no longer has sufficient disk space.
I'm considering a partial implementation there that will be able to process
a sub-set of XAPI queries, but that's somewhere in the future.
