    Hi there, So I have mosaiced several landsat images together (about 15 path/rows). I have ran into trouble with correctly mosaicing bands 1-5 and 7. The first band is good, but the other bands have significant gaps in-between each image, with increasing gap size towards band 7. I have tried to avoid this problem by mosiacing each individual band, and then layer stacking them and editing the header file afterwards. When I layer stack each mosaiced band, I run into an error about half way: envi_stack_layers_doit: An error has occurred during processing Error: "WRITEU: Error encountered after writing to file. Unit: 101 File: path/to/my/layer_file_name the result may be invalid My first guess would be that layering the large, mosaiced bands might be to much memory for envi to handle. I bet that I can mosaic all of the path/rows for each band all in one swoop, so perhaps that's my ticket instead of my "brute-force" method. Anyways, any thoughts, comments, or words of advice? Thanks

    WRITEU errors are typically caused by a lack of disk space to write to. See how much disk space you have. The layer stack is going to be a very large file.

    I'm reading/writting files on my ext hard drive which has a couple hundred GB of free space (can hold 500 gigs). I've gotten 10 different path/rows to mosaic before, but on a different ext hard drive with 500 gigs. I'll try freeing up more space and also try using the other ext hard drive. Thanks!

    You might also check the location of the Temp directory in your ENVI preferences. It could be that the intermediate products are written to a local location that does not have a lot of disk space.

    It'll take a while until the mosaic is done, but so far it has made it much further than all other attempts. I wrote the output file to my pc with envi instead of my ext hard drive. That's funny, b/c the pc has only ~100 GB of free space and my ex hard drive has like ~300 GB. This makes me highly suspicious that my ext hard drive is the problem. I'll run a couple more "experimental" processes on envi and see if I discover anything else with the memory.
