Hi Glynn, Thanks for your reply. Here is a more detailed problem description:
First I created a new and empty GRASS Location "test" on the network storage (NFS) from the Linux Server. This GRASS DB is mounted on LINUX (through mount.cifs) to `/home/stefan/R_raw_data/test'. On Windows the "Network drive" is mapped to " R:\Raw_data\test " Within this Location I crated a mapset "linux" (from the Linux Server) and a mapset "windows" from my Windows 7 workstation. 1st test case: Linux to Windows: On the Linux server, and in the "linux" mapset I did: r.external.out --verbose directory="/home/stefan/R_raw_data/test" extension=".tif" format="GTiff" g.region -p n=1 s=0 e=1 w=0 res=0.1 r.mapcalc expression="linux_map=1" On my Win 7 box I did: d.rast map= linux_map @linux Here I got the following error message: Command 'd.rast map=linux_map@linux' failed Details: ERROR 4: `/home/stefan/R_raw_data/test/linux_map.tif' does not exist in the file system, and is not recognised as a supported dataset name. Then I tried relative paths: On Linux: r.external.out --verbose directory="../../" extension=".tif" format="GTiff" r.mapcalc expression="linux_map=1" --o Error message on Windows changes to: Command 'd.rast map=linux_map@linux' failed Details: ERROR 4: `/home/stefan/R_raw_data/test/newLocation/linux/../..//linux_map.tif' does not exist in the file system, and is not recognised as a supported dataset name. 2nd test case: Windows to Linux: On my Windows box (and in the "windows" mapset) I did: r.external.out --verbose directory="R:\Raw_data\test" extension=".tif" format="GTiff" r.mapcalc expression=windows_map=1 Which results in the following error message: ERROR: Unable to make mapset element R:\Raw_data\test (R:\Raw_data\test/newLocation/windows/R:\Raw_data\test): No such file or directory Then I tried relative paths: r.external.out --verbose directory="../../" extension=.tif format=GTiff The relative paths work for the Windows side. However, back on Linux I tried: d.rast map=windows_map@windows and got the following error message: Command 'd.rast map=windows_map@windows' failed Details: ERROR 4: `R:\Raw_data\test/newLocation/windows/../..//windows_map.tif' does not exist in the file system, and is not recognised as a supported dataset name. Thanks for looking into this. Should I open a ticket in trac?
