nrow limit when creating a raster using terra function rast

Question

I'm trying to create a raster using the following data frame (without NAs), with the latitude, longitude and values extracted from a HDF4 file generated by SeaDAS:

> dim(df)
[1] 10538622        3
> head(df)
          x         y         z
1 -61.38239 -30.91730 -0.015534
2 -61.38239 -30.91730 -0.015534
3 -61.38239 -30.91730 -0.015534
4 -61.38239 -30.91730 -0.015534
5 -61.37815 -30.91839 -0.015534
6 -61.37815 -30.91839 -0.015534

but I get the following error:

>   ras = rast(df, type = "xyz", crs = prj, digits = 6)
Error in matrix(NA, nrow = ncell(r), ncol = nlyr(r)) : 
  invalid 'nrow' value (too large or NA)
In addition: Warning message:
In matrix(NA, nrow = ncell(r), ncol = nlyr(r)) :
  NAs introduced by coercion to integer range

I already tried to reduce the size of the data frame using a bounding box, but even with only 23530 points I still get same error. There are a few points very close to each other (hence the identical points 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the df) and the grid is probably not regular. What could be the issue here?

Thanks, Matheus
