I let a du run a couple of days ago (before the deleting of old tiles) and the result was the following:
377G /tiles/ 165G /tiles/default
Please excuse my ignorance, but what is "default"? Is it the same as "osm"?
Yes, that is the name of the "default" mapnik style used on osm.org. It is just called default for legacy reasons really.
Obvious follow-up question given "default" is the most space and presumably also the most time consuming style: why are we duplicating the original osm tiles in the first place? As a backup, or for keeping load off the osm.org server?
Kind regards, Kay
