I have managed to split the 365GB file into 2GB chunks with the help of 'split' unix utility in mingw shell like so split -C 2GB ways.txt Then I imported the files into a clean database with the help of the following cmd command for /f %f in ('dir /b') do psql -U postgres -w -d osm -t -c "set client_encoding TO 'UTF8'; copy ways from 'D:\ways\%f';" The operation took ~3.5 hour which is the same as v10!
Prior to that I set 'parallel_leader_participation = on' and 'synchronous_commit = off' in the config file and restarted the server. Then I logged into the psql interactive terminal and ran ALTER TABLE ONLY ways ADD CONSTRAINT pk_ways PRIMARY KEY (id); It took 1h 10m which is 30m faster than with the default settings (after 'type' commad if it really matters) but still 3 times slower than in v10.
