osm2pgsql import crashed!

Question

I am currently importing a bz2 country file into PostgreSQL 9.1 database for Nominatim 2 using its setup.php that runs osm2pgsql.

After processing the nodes. it seems to be stuck at a certain spot for hours without any changes and both CPU/memory usage for the server went down to idle levels.

Any idea what happened? The full output can be found here.

Answer 1

I ended up using imposm due to crashes with osm2pgsql. There's a pretty good step by step guide here for importing an osm data set.

Hope this helps out
