In my experience, osm2pgsql only likes importing to a clean database or 
applying updates.  It doesn't like 2 full imports coming into a single 
DB.  But if you work out how to get this to work, I'll be all ears 
(eyes) to learn something new!

And are you applying updates, and if so, where did you find instructions 
on how to prune the update files to cover only your area of interest?

I run (ran, it's down at the moment) a full planet OSM tile server in a 
ubuntu VM under Windoze.  I fed it 4 spinning disks in a JBOD array for 
the tile storage and another 4 SSDs in a JBOD array for the database and 
node file.  It ran acceptably well, provided that the tile demand was 
low and slow.  I use(d) it as the primary tile server for development 
the APRSISCE/32/MO clients so I wouldn't hit the main servers if I did 
something stupid.
