Perhaps can you add an extra loop in your scripts for processing your
data:<br>1 - extract the tarball<br>2 - import the raster in R<br>3 - and then delete the temporary
uncompressed mapset.<br>
it will take a little bit more space but just for one mapset at a time, and I don't thing the process will be much slower than to access the files directly into the compressed tarball ...<br><br>you can also buy more hard drive :D<br>
<br>if you make some benchmark test between different solution I will be interreted in the results, I'm also working on a huge amound of raster data within GRASS and R ...<br><br>regards,<br>Sylvain Maillard<br><br>Doctorant en Sciences de l'Environnement<br>
