In our discussion last year I got the impression HDF5 can't really re-use the space of deleted items within a HDF5 file (.h5)... so that if you delete datasets and create new ones, the space taken will be old + new. Could you please explain if there are recent changes to this or if I misunderstood in the first place... :-) Regards, Vesa _______________________________________________ Hdf-forum is for HDF software users discussion.
