You could try passing -al -so to ogrinfo, e.g.
ogrinfo -al -so pathToFileGDB

Check to see if build overviews or pyramids is on when you run this process. The missing display indicates that the overview or pyramid for the "white" area did not generate correctly.

You could try using GDAL/OGR's Geospatial PDF driver (new at version 1.10).
See also the Geospatial PDF format article on Wikipedia for more background information.

Another advantage of a fgdb over shapefiles is that features in a fgdb can have true curves. In shapefiles, curves are composed of arbitrarily small straight line segments. I'm not sure about personal gdbs.

The ArcSDE administrative user (sdeuser) account is responsible for the administration of the following:
ArcSDE geodatabase system tables, triggers, and procedures
The ArcSDE service
Versions
The ArcSDE administrator owns all the ArcSDE geodatabase system files, directories, and tables. For this reason, the ArcSDE administrative account must be ...

You do not want SDE owning the data. You also do not want your table spaces to be intertwined with your SDE table spaces (database administration and performance side of house). It can make upgrades and other data manipulation more complex. Also, when you log in as SDE you have elevated privileges which means you may accidentally run an action that would ...

Without seeing your FME Workbench, it's hard to know exactly how to solve your problem. Considering you have tried to filter out the data already, I can think of a few options that might help you:
If you have multiple feature types that you are reading, there is an option in the Workspace Parameters called "Ignore Failed Readers". From the help file:

File geodatabases: compressing vs. compacting
Compressing makes it READ ONLY.
so you do not have to uncompress it each time you access it; ArcGIS and ArcReader read it directly.
but you must uncompress it to EDIT the geodatabase
Compacting tidies up storage of records in files ...

If you're looking for something simple, you could use Dropbox or Bittorrent Sync to mirror the databases on the fly. They both operate in realtime using Windows' file snapshot services, so changes get caught. You'll still want a traditional backup, but, if the scale of your project doesn't necessitate using your SDE option, these two can be elegantly simple. ...

Thanks for sending that to Safe Software support James. This helped us see the issue which was a field name 'Order" which is a reserved word for file geodatabase. FME generally will catch these and I have followed up with problem report. The solution is to change that field name in the destination feature type in FME Workbench.

The Object Loader and Simple Data Loader allow you to load data into empty feature classes or feature classes that already contain data.
The Simple Data Loader also allows you to load into stand-alone tables.
While the Object Loader and Simple Data Loader are similar loading wizards, the Object Loader provides the following functionality that the Simple ...

What you want to do, is quite easy. The high level steps can be as follows:
Using Raster calculator or the Con geoprocessing tool, reclassify the raster into three classes: null for oceans/water, 1 for below 2000 m and 2 for above 2000m.
Using Raster to Polygon tool, create a featureclass from this raster.
Intersect the output of 2, with your countries ...

There is no way to mirror the databases "on the fly" using ArcGIS geodatabase replication. You could attempt something like this with DBMS replication but that is not a recommended practice. Best thing to do is set up a scheduled task to run the synchronization (via python script) as frequently as you need.

Replicas and geodatabases
An ArcSDE geodatabase can host both child and parent replicas. This
enables data to be replicated across multiple geodatabases

I try to avoid using shapefiles as you cannot store domains, relationships, aliases etc. but they are the most portable format when distributing data to other people who are using different GIS systems/tools.
Whilst file geodatabases give better performance and are capable of storing huge datasets, everyone above is giving the humble personal geodatabase a ...

if you want full-blown geodatabase capability (Coded Value Domains, Relationship Classes, Topologies, Geometric Networks, etc blah blah, without the complexity or admin overhead of relational geodatabase, AND/OR you want the fastest drawing, cursor, and geoprocessing performance, File Geodatabase is the way to go. Local disc access is much faster than a ...

I generally use FGDBs, but it really depends on what you need to store. Like the other posts have mentioned, Personal GDBs are outdated and have size issues.
Using a geodatabase allows you to set up a topology, which you can't do with plain shapefiles.
Shapefiles hold the exact coordinates of the shapes. In a GDB, the locations are snapped to the nearest ...

Most people would recommend storing your data in a database for performance reasons, i.e quick to query and search. However I believe there is also the benefit of currency when data is in a database. For example, if you pass a shapefile to a colleague they are likely to use that indefinitely but the data may have been updated. Where as if the data was stored ...

At a high level the way I choose is based on whether users are inexperienced and need nothing more than points, lines and polygons. Shapefiles are ideal for this.
If they need annotation, domains for pick lists and validation, raster, etc then use File Geodatabases which are easy to use, fast and can be massive in size.
I would never use Personal ...

Use a program like Active Sync to try and copy it. It should be able to continually try and grab the files within the GeoDatabase when they become free from a lock. The locks are only in place when the service is being actively drawn or queried.

You can use AGSSOM command within a python script to stop/start the services at 2am, which may be initiated by a windows scheduler calling a bat file to run your python script.

I created the following function in Python that takes as input a starting folder and populates a global list with all the sub-folder paths. You can then step through this using the arcpy.ListWorkspaces()
import arcpy
import os
listFolders = []
def GetFolders(root):
global listFolders
try:
l = os.listdir(root)
for x in l:

The arcpy.da.Walk function from ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 allows you to do this. The following script walks through a workspace, create a list of every polyline, and copies the polylines to an output workspace.
import arcpy
import os
in_workspace = r"C:\your\path"
out_workspace = r"C:\your\path2\temp.gdb\fds"
feature_classes = []
for dirpath, dirnames, filenames ...

It looks like there are a few things that can cause an Access database to grow excessively.
Row Locking is discussed in this Stackexchange question: MS-Access database getting very large during inserts
It looks like the suggested solution is to turn off Row-Locking in the database. This is something that is turned off on the Access database itself, not ...

If you are using Visual Studio Express 2012, then you may want to try it with the 2012, not the 2010, solution. I don't know if that is actually your problem though.
In the 2012 solution that I have used, there is this comment at the top of Display.cpp:
// Uses glut to display a point feature class. To build this program you will have to
// install glut ...
