Hi Rich, Please try GRASS_VECTOR_LOWMEM environment variable:
GRASS_VECTOR_LOWMEM [vectorlib] If the environment variable GRASS_VECTOR_LOWMEM exists, memory consumption will be reduced when building vector topology support structures. Recommended for creating large vectors. See: https://grass.osgeo.org/grass72/manuals/variables.html Cheers Stefan -----Original Message----- From: grass-user [mailto:grass-user-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Rich Shepard Sent: onsdag 1. november 2017 23.51 To: grass-user@lists.osgeo.org Subject: [GRASS-user] Large import runs out of memory While trying to import (v.in.ogr) a large landuse .shp file grass gave up because it could not find 11+M (or G, I don't recall which) of memory. This desktop has 4G RAM installed and a 15G swap file. My builds are configured with largefile enabled. Are there other options that would allow grass to see and use the available swap space on the disk?
