[gdal-dev] Memory use in GDALDriver::CreateCopy()

[Greg Coats]

I find that GDAL version 1.6.3, released 2009/11/19, gdal_translate fully supports reading and writing a 150 GB GeoTiff image 260,000 columns by 195,000 rows by RGB. Greg

$ tiffinfo dcua0002_BigTiffYES.tif 
  Image Width: 260000 Image Length: 195000
  Tile Width: 512 Tile Length: 512
  Resolution: 800, 800 pixels/cm
  Bits/Sample: 8
  Compression Scheme: None
  Photometric Interpretation: RGB color
  Samples/Pixel: 3

There was a limit until very recently that prevented to read blocks whose one dimension was bigger than 9999. This was fixed recently in trunk ( see ticket http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3263 ) and branches/1.6, but it has not yet been released to an officially released version. So which GDAL version are you using ?
