Hi,

One more thing, save some more space and compress the overviews as well. It is 
documented in http://www.gdal.org/gdaladdo.html
If image itself is compressed with DEFLATE, use --config COMPRESS_OVERVIEW 
DEFLATE.

You can simplify your process because you already use -a_srs parameter ("assign

those .prj files at all.
Gdaladdo with resolution 1 does not make sense because it means creating an 
overview with original resolution.  I hope that gdaladdo quitly skips it, 
otherwise you are getting all too large files.

Speaking from experience (I did this myself long ago before understanding) - 
gdaladdo happily creates the pyramids at level 1. So you end up with a file 
that's double it's original size!


It is also good to know that gdaladdo -clean does not remove old overviews 
physically and filesize will not shrink.

Yup. It just removes the links to the overviews. I found that out the hard way 
too. :-)



The lines in my last email have what seems to be the optimal - everything is 
inside a single file and the result is optimised for GeoServer.

I've tested now it on the OS 50k for the entire country - there's no need to 
split into two files and image mosaic. The resultant file is only about 2.5GB 
pre overviews (which usually add another 30%). So just loading that file as a 
regular single GeoTiff should be fine.

Cheers,
Jonathan
