Perhaps can you add an extra loop in your scripts for processing your data: 1 - extract the tarball 2 - import the raster in R 3 - and then delete the temporary uncompressed mapset. it will take a little bit more space but just for one mapset at a time, and I don't thing the process will be much slower than to access the files directly into the compressed tarball ...
you can also buy more hard drive :D if you make some benchmark test between different solution I will be interreted in the results, I'm also working on a huge amound of raster data within GRASS and R ... regards, Sylvain Maillard Doctorant en Sciences de l'Environnement Laboratoire Chimie Provence - UMR 6264 / Université de Provence la Tour du Valat - Centre de recherche pour la conservation des zones humides méditerranéennes Le Sambuc 13200 Arles France tél:04.90.97.29.79 fax:04.90.97.20.19 www.tourduvalat.org 2010/8/31 Rainer M Krug <[email protected]> > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On 31/08/10 16:38, Markus Neteler wrote: > > On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 4:13 PM, Rainer M Krug <[email protected]> > wrote: > > ... > >>> I would leave it in GRASS and use the R-GRASS interface and/or the > >>> GDAL-GRASS plugin.
