[gdal-dev] GDALINFO fails with large .tif raster

[Marius Jigmond]

I am posting this at Jachym Cepicky's suggestion as I had originally 
posted it on the QGIS forum. I cannot open large (2.7 GB) .tif rasters 
on a Ubuntu Hardy distribution. I have tried gdal 1.4.4 from Ubuntu, 
1.5.1 from Jachym's repo, and the version distributed with the 2.0.6 
version of FWTools. Here's some output:

marius at snowcrave:~$ gdalinfo GISdata/Romania/LandsatMosaics/bands123.tif
ERROR 4: `GISdata/Romania/LandsatMosaics/bands123.tif' not recognised as 
a supported file format.

gdalinfo failed - unable to open 
'GISdata/Romania/LandsatMosaics/bands123.tif'.

I know the raster file is fine because I can read it on a Ubuntu Gutsy 
box with gdal 1.4.2. Here's the output from the Gutsy box:

On the Hardy box I have encrypted ext3 partitions, while on the Gutsy 
they are unencrypted ext3. I placed the raster on an unencrypted 
partition, but that didn't help. Gdalinfo works with smaller (900 MB) 
.tif rasters on the Hardy box. I look forward to any suggestions you 
might have. The QGIS post can be accesed here:
