I am posting this at Jachym Cepicky's suggestion as I had originally <br>posted it on the QGIS forum. I cannot open large (2.7 GB) .tif rasters <br>on a Ubuntu Hardy distribution. I have tried gdal 1.4.4 from Ubuntu, <br>1.5.1 from Jachym's repo, and the version distributed with the 2.0.6 <br>version of FWTools. Here's some output:<br><br>marius@snowcrave:~$ gdalinfo GISdata/Romania/LandsatMosaics/bands123.tif<br>ERROR 4: `GISdata/Romania/LandsatMosaics/bands123.tif' not recognised as <br>a supported file format.<br><br>gdalinfo failed - unable to open <br>'GISdata/Romania/LandsatMosaics/bands123.tif'.<br><br>I know the raster file is fine because I can read it on a Ubuntu Gutsy <br>box with gdal 1.4.2. Here's the output from the Gutsy box:<br><br>marius@bigfoot:~$ gdalinfo /media/hdb7/bands123.tif<br>Driver: GTiff/GeoTIFF<br>Size is 31865, 30113<br>Coordinate System is:<br>PROJCS["WGS 84 / UTM zone 35N",<br> GEOGCS["WGS 84",<br> DATUM["WGS_1984",<br> SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.2572235629972,<br> AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]],<br> AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]],<br> PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],<br> UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433],<br> AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]],<br> PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],<br> PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",0],<br> PARAMETER["central_meridian",27],<br> PARAMETER["scale_factor",0.9996],<br> PARAMETER["false_easting",500000],<br> PARAMETER["false_northing",0],<br> UNIT["metre",1,<br> AUTHORITY["EPSG","9001"]],<br> AUTHORITY["EPSG","32635"]]<br>Origin = (-126751.937963147182018,5526477.750000000000000)<br>Pixel Size = (28.500000000000000,-28.500000000000000)<br>Metadata:<br> AREA_OR_POINT=Area<br> TIFFTAG_SOFTWARE=IMAGINE TIFF Support<br>Copyright 1991 - 1999 by ERDAS, Inc.

I placed the raster on an unencrypted <br>partition, but that didn't help. Gdalinfo works with smaller (900 MB) <br>.tif rasters on the Hardy box. I look forward to any suggestions you <br>might have. The QGIS post can be accesed here: <br>http://forum.qgis.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=783.
