Peter Körner:
Both problems together create a real huge number of
files in a single
directory which is not good for most filesystems. To make things worse,
/mnt/user-store is connected to cassini via NFS, so there's another
bottleneck.
i had a look at osm_hillshading/, but i couldn't see any especially
large directories. the largest under tiles/ seemed to be about 3'000
entries, which is well within the capability of the filesystem (VxFS).
since user-store is on NFS, it should generate very little local load;
while iowait might show as increased load average, it should not have an
effect on PostgreSQL speed, which runs on different disks entirely.
