[GRASSLIST:4] mapset creation (and can't search archives?)

GRASS GRASS user
,

I just imported some georeferenced raster maps into grass (first via a
tmp LOCATION, then into a "real" LOCATION via r.in.gdal) However, they
came into their "real" LOCATION in MAPSET permanent. I want to create
several new mapsets within this location that refer to different map
sources (I'm a victim of my own need to organise).

Thanks,

also is the search component of the list archives non-functional?

If I read the man page correctly (always a big if), g.gisenv will only
do me any good once I have the MAPSET created. My first problem is the
under the LOCATION I made, I have only one MAPSET (PERMANENT). I want to
create several MAPSETS, but I can't find how to simply create a new
MAPSET.

Here's a scheme of what I'm looking to do:

LOACATION n_mn

MAPSETS PERMANENT lake_access acquisition_survey timber_survey

So... I think what I'm after is under the directory
~/grassdata/locations

I want the directories: lake_access, acquisition_survey, timber_survey

Can I simply use mkdir to create them, then use g.copy to move data into
them?

If you are working with multiple mapsets:
g.gisenv set="MAPSET=something"
will be very useful to you for switching mapsets mid grass session.. The
CVS version is a bit better at this than the 5.0.2 version.. still isn't
100% yet though.

If you asking about
  http://op.gfz-potsdam.de/GRASS-List/
please try the google interface. The glimpse interface is very slow,
maybe even broken, but I don't have the time to debug it :frowning: I should
remove it from the page.

You want to create it without user interaction, right?

Here's a scheme of what I'm looking to do:

LOACATION n_mn

MAPSETS PERMANENT lake_access acquisition_survey timber_survey

So... I think what I'm after is under the directory
~/grassdata/locations

I want the directories: lake_access, acquisition_survey, timber_survey

The directory layout is <database>/<location>/<mapset>/..., so if your
database is ~/grassdata, the mapset "lake_access" in location "n_mn"
would correspond to the directory "~/grassdata/n_mn/lake_access/".

Can I simply use mkdir to create them, then use g.copy to move data into
them?

To create a new mapset, you need to create the directory (e.g. with
mkdir) then create a WIND file in that directory (e.g. by copying the
DEFAULT_WIND file from the PERMANENT mapset).
