[ferret_users] big file issue?

Hello,

I was wondering whether I hit some kind of limit with the data file below.

Any suggestions welcome!

Thank you very much,

Cheers,

Joerg

So this is my file – 3.7 Gb to save you the counting

-r-------- 1 jk61 nfsnobody 3733003888 Nov 12 16:31 hwsd1.21type.nc

[jk61@alice01 HWSD1.21]$ ncdump -h hwsd1.21type.nc

netcdf hwsd1.21type {

dimensions:

Longitude = 43200 ;

Latitude = 21600 ;

variables:

double Longitude(Longitude) ;

Longitude:Units = "DegreeE" ;

double Latitude(Latitude) ;

Latitude:Units = "DegreeN" ;

int Soiltype(Latitude, Longitude) ;

}

I am using

FERRET v6.84

Linux 2.6.32-358.11.1.el6.x86_64 64-bit - 09/05/13

yes? use hwsd1.21type.nc

yes? show data

currently SET data sets:

1> ./hwsd1.21type.nc (default)

name title I J K L M N

SOILTYPE 1:43200 1:21600 ... ...

yes? shade SOILTYPE[x=-180:180]

gives me the output below

However

shade SOILTYPE[x=0:180]

results in
