Nick, the unlimited dimension per se is not the reason.
I suspect your chunk size is way too small.
(That will bloat your chunk index and that's what might be going on.)
What are the chunk sizes on /face_indices and /vertex positions ?
Hi Gerd,
The chunk size is indeed the problem (I am new to chunking).
I set it to '1' :-(
I went back to the documentation about chunking and about b-tree
and figure that I'd better get a good understanding of how chunking is
supported.
When I set it to something I felt reasonable in my usage pattern
i.e. 8196, my HDF file becomes smaller than the original input binary
file and the previous non-unlimited version of the same HDF5 file.
All is well now.
Cheers
