[OSM-talk] osmarender tile server broken?

[Nick Hill]

Hello Oliver

I have made a loopback file system on dev as discussed.

Given most of the files stored will be very small, it is important the file 
system has small blocks to reduce allocation wastage.

JFS for Linux only currently supports 4k blocks, so that was excluded.

Reiser4 wants likes blocks the same size as the page size, which in this case 
was 4K. Other sizes can be forced. Given reiser 4 isn't as tested, combined with 
non-standard block size excluded reiser4.

Reiser 3.6 supports blocks of any 2^ multiple from 512bytes to 8k. So chose 
reiser 3.6 with 512 byte block.
