Export fails.

[pcoder]

When I try to export a tilemill project using the following command,

./index.js export "all" --format=mbtiles --minzoom=0 --maxzoom=15 --metatile=16

I get the following error

test@test:/home/test/gitprojects/tileoven$ ./index.js export "all" all.mbtiles --format=mbtiles --minzoom=0 --maxzoom=15 --metatile=16

To give you more idea about the project, I have around 200,000 points in the project.

I am using the following version of tilemill on Fedora 23, with 8GB of ram and i7-4600U CPU @ 2.10GHz processor.

Version 0.10.2 (v0.10.1-435-g8e0b257) Copyright © 2010-2014 Mapbox, Inc.

Is there any workaround for this?

I had a similar issue with the tilemill-project and I have reported it there too

Thanks in advance and highly appreciate any response.

I found the issue was related to RAM. The OS was killing the export process for exhausting memory beyond the capacity of the RAM and swap. I increased the swap and the export went well.

Please close this issue.

Allright, thx for the info. The same happened to me once on ubunu.
