[OSM-talk] osmarender tile server broken?

[John McKerrell]

The best (FS) method would be to format a partition to have lots more  
inodes, but I'm guessing that's not a possibility.

Something I considered once before, though I'm not sure if it has any  
merits, was to create a new filesystem in a big file on the existing  
one, the new one formatted in the ideal way (perhaps even with a  
different filesystem). The new filesystem is then mounted with the  
loopback device. I have no idea if that would be at all efficient  
though.

I've just noticed the more recent replies. I could probably help with  
providing an x/y/z -> i function if you want, using (I think) a  
morton index.
