Comment (by mmetz):

 Replying to [ticket:3859 sbl]:
 > In r.out.gdal I get Error 1 Maximum TIFF file size exceeded. Use
 BIGTIFF=YES.
 > Would be great if GRASS could use BIGTIFF=IF_NEEDED/IF_SAFER by default
 when exporting GeoTiff or if it could compute the required creation option
 from region size, number of bands and data type...

 The idea of using GDAL/OGR is that the code does not need to bother about
 format-specific options. By now GRASS code does take care of some special
 formats to prevent errors and/or to follow GDAL instructions, but for code
 maintenance I would like to keep this to a minimum.

 There is a reason (on the GDAL side) why BIGTIFF=YES is not the default:
 not all (Geo)Tiff drivers support BIGTIFF.
