Even,

I have the setup configured so that it does not disconnect on its own. There was something about gdalwarm handling large files. After some delay installing the latest release of gdal (gdalbuildvrt is not available in the earlier versions), I got it to work. Both gdalbuildvrt and gdal_translate finished fast (less than an hour) and now I have a 432001P x 40801L raster.

Thanks a lot!

Laura,

From the error message, I guess you are running gdalwarp on a remote server through a ssh connexion. There's probably a timeout that occurs since your operation takes hours. You should check the ssh options of the client/server
for that.

In your use case, if you just want to create a mosaic of SRTM files and not really warp them, you'd better use gdalbuildvrt to create quickly a VRT file (XML-based) and then translate it to geotiff. This should run much faster than gdalwarp. But the 432001P x 40801L output size will remain. As it is
huge, it will also likely take some time !

gdalbuildvrt mosaic.vrt *hgt
gdal_translate mosaic.vrt mosaic.tif

If you only use the mosaic with GDAL enabled tools, you can skip the
gdal_translate step. That will save space (17.6 GB!) and time (a few seconds
v.s. several hours).

Best regards,
Even

Hi,

I am trying to create a large DEM from SRTM3 data.  I have a folder
'australia' which includes 1060 .hgt tiles downloaded from
'rome0srp01u.ecs.nasa.gov/', and I am trying to create a tiff for all
the tiles in this folder.

I have tried to run 'gdalwarp'  several times and every time the
server gets reset (see below) after  processing the first .hgt file.
The tiles are not that large (i think i3600x3600), but processing the
first tile takes hours.

Has anybody tried anything similar? Am I doing something wrong?  Any
advise would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Laura
