Overpass API developpement

[Roland Olbricht <>]

Hi all,

could you please post the file sizes of all the area files, i.e.
do a "ls -l" in the db directory and post the result?

Everything else, e.g. the /api/ping call (delivers fresh Irish data), 
looks fine from outside. In particular, the area process should reuse 
old data blocks on every cycle, and the best hypothesis I have so far is 
that it doesn't for an unknown reason. The file sizes of the 
".idx.shadow", ".idx" and ".shadow" files should shed some light on that.

For comparison, this is what the worldwide server has at the moment:
