[osmosis-dev] Planet import

[Brett Henderson]

Which osmosis task are you using to do the import?  Is this the
--write-pgsql-dump task?  Building a full pgsql "simple" database with full
planet will take very approximately one week of processing and 3-400GB of
disk space ... I think.  But it depends hugely on the hardware in particular
the disk performance, and also which optional geometry columns you've added
to the ways table.  The import itself is relatively fast, but building
indexes and running CLUSTER statements takes *much* longer.

If you're referring to the apidb database then I don't have any numbers.
It's been a couple of years since I've tried that.
