[Paraview] RAW (binary) file import issues

[Keyes S.D.]

Dear all,

I am encountering issues when trying to import large 8 bit RAW volumes to Paraview 5.1.2 (64 bit).

The file I wish to import has xyz dimensions of 2000x2000x1920 voxels (Unsigned char), 7.5GB.  I am running a machine with 192 GB RAM and 12 CPU cores.

I can import up to a 2000x2000x1000 crop of this file, but I encounter the following message when I attempt larger z dimensions:

ERROR: In C:\bbd\df0abce0\source-paraview\VTK\IO\Image\vtkImageReader2.cxx, line 592

vtkPVImageReader (0000000007767F90): Initialize: Could not open file \\cseg_2\ERC\SLS_201606\Myco_2\CT2PpR3h1_\Hyphalseg_Raw_2000_2000_1920_8bit_SKELETON_FILT_PARAVIEW_TEST.raw


I cannot find an obvious memory ceiling within the paraview settings - any ideas as to whether there is some effective upper limit to import file size?
