Hi Gilles, Ok. So I did a quick test. Using romio314 I get the correct file content, using ompio the content is wrong:
$ hexdump c-xdr.dat 0000000 ffff e2ff 3040 0040 0000 0000 000000c $ mpirun --mca io romio314 -np 1 mpi-io-external32 $ hexdump mpi-io-external32.dat 0000000 ffff e2ff 3040 0040 0000 0000 000000c $ mpirun --mca io ompio -np 1 mpi-io-external32 $ hexdump mpi-io-external32.dat 0000000 ffe2 ffff 0000 0000 4000 4030 000000c Best Christoph ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gilles Gouaillardet" <gilles.gouaillar...@gmail.com> To: "Open MPI Developers" <devel@lists.open-mpi.org> Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2017 10:39:56 AM Subject: Re: [OMPI devel] v2.1.0rc1 has been released Hi Christoph, these two look verysimilar indeed ! did you try rc1 with your test case ? note you need to mpirun --mca io romio314 ... then you should definetely be credited for that too Cheers, Gilles On Tuesday, February 28, 2017, Christoph Niethammer < [ mailto:nietham...@hlrs.de | nietham...@hlrs.de ] > wrote: Hi Gilles, Is this the same issue I reported 4/29/2014: 'Wrong Endianness in Open MPI for external32 representation'?
