[GRASS-dev] Problem importing MODIS tile

I’ve been trying to import a MODIS tile into GRASS, using r.in.gdal, without success. The MODIS tile is a geotif from the Global Land Cover Facility. The geotif looks OK as a graphic. I’ve got a latlon location I tried to import into. Then I tried to let GDAL create a location. The problem is that nothing happens—no error, not even minimal progress. Looking at my processes monitor, I can’t even see that gdal is running. The file is big of course (ca. 950Mb), but I didn’t think it would completely fail to even start importing.

Any thoughts?

What MODIS product exactly? A link?

into GRASS, using r.in.gdal,

What does gdalinfo say? Can you open the dataset in QGIS or OpenEV?

without success. The MODIS tile is a geotif from the Global Land
Cover Facility. The geotif looks OK as a graphic. I've got a latlon
location I tried to import into.

The only MODIS product that was available in lat/lon was
http://glcfapp.umiacs.umd.edu:8080/esdi/product?productID=20
but no longer. See there.

Usually they come in Goode's (or Albers, for USA).
