Problem with disabling meta information

[gerbsen]

Hey,
We are running the docker image provided by @Frankkkkk. I tried to disable the meta data generation since we just don't need it and it costs lots of disk space by:

$BINDIR/init_osm3s.sh $DBDIR/planet.osm.bz2 $DBDIR $EXECDIR --meta=no,
$BINDIR/fetch_osc_and_apply.sh $REPLICATE_SERVER --meta=no & and
$BINDIR/dispatcher --osm-base --db-dir=$DBDIR &

But this seems to be either ignored or misinterpreted:

Will run dispatcher

File /overpass_DB/ways_meta.bin present. Please use parameter --meta

File error caught: 2 No such file or directory /osm3s_v0.7.54_osm_base Dispatcher_Client::1

Is there any way to achieve what I want?

There's a check in place which prevents the dispatcher from starting without --meta, if there are already meta-related files in your database directory. If you really don't want meta, you should remove those files from your database directory.

File /overpass_DB/nodes_meta.bin present. Please use parameter --meta
File /overpass_DB/ways_meta.bin present. Please use parameter --meta
File /overpass_DB/relations_meta.bin present. Please use parameter --meta
File /overpass_DB/user_data.bin present. Please use parameter --meta
File /overpass_DB/user_indices.bin present. Please use parameter --meta

@breki wrote a guide to run everything without meta. Maybe you can use this as a reference to adjust your docker image: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Breki/Overpass_API_Installation

Thank you for your quick answer as always! The trick was to write:

$BINDIR/init_osm3s.sh $DBDIR/planet.osm.bz2 $DBDIR $EXECDIR instead of $BINDIR/init_osm3s.sh $DBDIR/planet.osm.bz2 $DBDIR $EXECDIR --meta=no to not generate meta infos.
