[gdal-dev] size limit in using gdal_translate

[Limei Ran]

Hi Frank,

Thank you for your help on creating a raster file from polygons.

I am creating a big file using gdal_translate and I got the following message:
===================================
gdal_translate landcover.img -a_ullr -1170075 3217665 2324145 188865 
-scale 0 255 0 0 -outsize 116474 100960 test.img
Input file size is 33146, 52402
0ERROR 6: A 116474 pixels x 100960 lines x 1 bands Byte image would be 
larger than 4GB
but this is the largest size a TIFF can be.  Creation failed.
===================================

Is there any way I can create this raster (other formats) without this 
space limitation?

Thanks,

Limei
