Bug fix (or more like feature)
Description:
MPI_File_open does not truncate the filesize if file already exists.
This created confusion during debugging as what the real file size
is. It also interfere the real write bandwidth since the times
required to allocate new disk-space vanishes for subsequent writes
that are for offset shorter than previous file sizes.
Added a MPI_File_set_size to reset the file size to 0 for every new
file.
Another bug is that the 'remove()' call may not work for MPIO/PHDF5
files. (e.g., filename may have some MPI prefix like "pfs:filename").
Replaced "remove" with MPI_File_delete for those cases.
Platforms tested:
modi4(pp) and eirene (pp)
HDF5 version 1.5.17 currently under development
Please refer to the INSTALL file for installation instructions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release is almost fully functional for the entire API defined in the
documentation, see the RELEASE.txt file in this directory for information
specific to this release of the library. The INSTALL file contains
instructions on compiling and installing the library. The INSTALL_parallel
file contains instructions on installing the parallel version of the
library.
Documentation for this release is in the html directory. Start with the
"index.html" in that dictectory.
Four mailing lists are currently set up for use with the HDF5
library.
hdf5 - For general discussion of the HDF5 library with
other users.
hdf5dev - For discussion of the HDF5 library development
with developers and other interested parties.
hdf5announce - For announcements of HDF5 related developments,
not a discussion list.
hdf5cvs - For checkin notices of code development on the library,
not a discussion list.
To subscribe to a list, send mail to "majordomo@ncsa.uiuc.edu",
with "subscribe <list>" in the _body_, not the Subject, of the message.
E.g., subscribe hdf5
Messages to be sent to the list should be sent to "<list>@ncsa.uiuc.edu".
Nearly daily code snapshots are now being provided at the following URL:
ftp://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/pub/outgoing/hdf5/snapshots
Please read the readme file in that directory before working with a library
snapshot.
The HDF5 website is located at http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/
Bugs should be reported to hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu.
