With regards to cassini (the toolserver) it now has a free 345 GB /sql partition. We could wait for the main osm-db server to be set up and set up replication there, or set up cassini as a stand-alone server which could be moved to replication later.
When can we expect the main osm-db to be online? And did anyone who's more familiar with setting up osm replication than me volunteer to set it up already?
Originally, no replication was planned. Would the space even be sufficient?
Maybe:) This is the current space the DB is taking @ OSM: http://pastebin.com/f39a15e34
Maybe a Planet.osm import is smaller than that though. I could check and see if it fails.
I was under the impression that replication was planned so that users on the osm-ts would have access to the DB without hammering the main DB (which would be there for production tools) with expensive queries.
Or so I gathered from our talk on IRC on the toolserver channel, but may have misunderstood you.
