Hi Rene, Yes MPICH 3.1 does fix this outstanding issue. HDF5 however has not been updated to take advantage of this bug fix. We are aware of this, and do have a branch that gets rid of this limitation, but it didn't get enough attention/testing to make it into the 1.8.13 release.
Maybe 1.8.14 if all goes well, but I can't promise. Thanks for pointing out the FAQ that needs updating now. Thanks, Mohamad -----Original Message----- From: Hdf-forum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Salmon, Rene Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2014 2:11 PM To: HDF Users Discussion List Subject: [Hdf-forum] 2gb limit ROMIO FAQ and mpich 3.1 fix?
