[OSM-dev] Renderd problems.

[Samir Faci (Dev)]

I have renderd installed as a service.

I'm on the latest version checkout from:
http://github.com/openstreetmap/mod_tile.git

Running on Ubuntu Lucid, 64bit.

I usually render using one of these commands:

/usr/bin/render_list -v --all -n 4
--socket=/var/run/renderd/renderd.sock --min-zoom=0 --max-zoom=13

cat /tiles/expired_list | /usr/bin/render_expired -v -n 4
--socket=/var/run/renderd/renderd.sock  --map=default --min-zoom=10
--max-zoom=13


While its rendering... I'd occasionally get errors communicating with
the socket:

ie:
send error: Broken pipe
recv error: Broken pipe
process: x=1512 y=692 z=11
already requested
read: x=655 y=434 z=10
process: x=5240 y=3472 z=13
render: /tiles/default/13/0/16/77/121/128.meta
Requesting xml(default) x(5240) y(3472) z(13)
send error: Broken pipe
recv error: Broken pipe
process: x=2620 y=1736 z=12
render: /tiles/default/12/0/0/166/60/136.meta

I was wondering if anyone else has experience any problems with
renderd?  There is no rhyme or reason.  Sometimes it would process
0-13 without any problems.  Sometimes it dies in the middle of a long
process.  Sometimes it dies right away.

I'm not sure if there's a more verbose mode I can run or debug mode
...but I can't seem to force it to re-create this problem, though it
does keep on re-occuring.

Oh, and if I restart it.. that fixes everything, until the next time.
