[gdal-dev] "gdaladdo: tif_dirwrite.c:2449: TIFFWriteDirectoryTagData: Assertion `datalength<0x80000000UL' failed."

[Mats Högström]

Hi,

I'm trying to build overviews on a large vrt file, but I'm getting the following error message
"gdaladdo: tif_dirwrite.c:2449: TIFFWriteDirectoryTagData: Assertion `datalength<0x80000000UL' failed."

Operating system ubuntu server 18.04
256 Gb memory
GDAL version 2.4

This is what I do:
- create a text file with all the file names
- gdalbuildvrt mosaic.vrt --optfile <mytextfile>
- gdaladdo -q -ro --config COMPRESS_OVERVIEW JPEG --config PHOTOMETRIC_OVERVIEW RGB --config INTERLEAVE_OVERVIEW PIXEL --config BIGTIFF_OVERVIEW YES mosaic.vrt 2

The vrt file references about 15000 4-band tiffs with 16 cm resolution.
gdalinfo mosaic.vrt
Driver: VRT/Virtual Raster
Files: /mnt/data/lm/orto4band016/raster/epsg3006/2019/delivery/ortofoto/mosaic.vrt
