[gdal-dev] TIFFReadEncodedTile() failed

[Dillabough, Craig]

Hi,
I am trying to use GDAL to rescale/reproject a fairly large GeoTiff file
(just over 1 GB). The image is 28800x9600 with 32 bit floating-point
pixel values. I would like to reproject it, but for starters wanted to
try rescaling it to 8 bits. When running gdal_translate as follows:

gdal_translate -ot Byte -of GTiff -scale 0.0 1.0 0 255
Av.MaxNDVI.2000.2009.Week.17.tif wk17.2000-09.8bit.tif

I get the following message:

Input file size is 28800, 9600
0Warning 1: Lost metadata writing to GeoTIFF ... too large to fit in
tag.
...10...20...30...40...50.ERROR 1:
TIFFFillTile:Av.MaxNDVI.2000.2009.Week.17.tif
: Read error at row 12288, col 2688; got 4088 bytes, expected 16384
ERROR 1: TIFFReadEncodedTile() failed.

ERROR 1: IReadBlock failed at X offset 193, Y offset 83
ERROR 1: GetBlockRef failed at X block offset 193, Y block offset 83
Warning 1: Lost metadata writing to GeoTIFF ... too large to fit in tag.

I don't think the error is specific to my particular rescale command.
I've tried both gdal_translate to break up my image into smaller images,
and gdalwarp to reproject the image (the original GeoTiff), and both
generate a similar error. Perhaps it is the input file.

In case it is of any use, gdalinfo produces the following output for the
input file Av.MaxNDVI.2000.2009.Week.17.tif:
