Denis,

Any thoughts on this issue? Skimming the CreateCopy code in the netcdf driver, it looks like things are done one scanline at a time which should be OK.

I'll try and reproduce ...

    initial v1  
    11When I tried to convert a 20000x15000 file using the GMT driver (which writes NetCDF with Z as a 1D variable) it works fine, but the NetCDF driver gives an "Out of memory" error:
    22
     3{{{
    34gdal_translate psdem_2005_geo.tif -of netcdf psdem_2005.nc
    45Input file size is 20000, 15000
    560ERROR 2: CPLMalloc(): Out of memory allocating 1200000000 bytes.
     7}}}
    68
    79It looks like the NetCDF driver is trying to allocate memory for the entire data grid being processed instead of reading/writing by column, row or chunk.  This should be fixed, to allow processing of much larger grids on machines with limited memory.
