[GRASS-user] ERROR: Bytes do not match file size with r.in.bin (but file size is correct!!)

[Ludovico Nicotina]

Dear list members,

I get this error while running the following command:

r.in.bin -f input=inputfile.bin output=outputmap bytes=4 n=51:05:20.4N s=41:21:50.4N w=5:08:31.2W e=9:33:36E r=19450 c=29404 anull=-9999.0 --overwrite

The file inputfile.bin is a binary grid written by a fortran program, with real*4 values. When I run the command I get the following error message:

WARNING: File Size -2007336096 ... Total Bytes 2287631200
ERROR: Bytes do not match file size
256
Note the minus sign in front of the first value given for the files size in the warning message. Important to notice also that when I do an ls -l on the binary input file I get the correct size (19450x29404x4):

-rw-rw-r-- 1 user group 2287631200 May  7 15:05 inputfile.bin

Any suggestion on the origin of this error? Is there any limit on the file size for importing binaries into GRASS? I am able to run exactly the same code on another region (which implies that the inputfile.bin is smaller 1.9GB vs the 2.2GB for this one) so I'm wondering if it's a metter of size and if there is any workaround.

Thanks in advance for whatever assistance you might provide.

Ludovico
