Hmm, as usual, it depends. :-) Are all the processes going to be
accessing the attribute? If not, you could create an attribute with an object
reference to an auxiliary dataset, and then read that in dataset in when needed.

No all the rnaks already have the information, it is only written so that
post-processsing code can use it. It contains grid spacings/coordinate for
irregular x/y/z intervals. it'd be 3 x/y/z for example arrays of 1024 or so
elements. None of the ranks needs to read it back. (I'd prefer to write
everything into one file for cleanliness).
