Many thanks for the suggestions. I'd really like to use the voxel approach but am getting the following error on running t.rast.to.rast3 to create a voxel.
I've increased the hard and soft limits for open files to 40000 on my system, but I still am unable to convert a space time raster dataset into a 3D raster map with only 5000 raster layers (note: I have 50K daily raster layers that I need to analyse i voxel) $ cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max 800532 $ ulimit -Sn 400000 $ ulimit -Hn 400000 Thanks, Richard Creation of STRDS and error on trying to convert to 3D data set: t.create output=capha_test_5 temporaltype=relative semantictype=max title=cahpa_test_5 description=cahpa_test_5 t.register --overwrite --verbose input=capha_test_5@cahpa file=/home/rcooper/grassdatacl/climdata/cahpa/.tmp/rcooper-dell/3528.4 start=1 unit=day increment=1 Gathering map information...
