Hi, I looks like I may have lost the results of last nights' experiments by doing a Ctrl-C to quit my Python program writing hdf5 files using pytables rather than doing it nicely. :( Obviously, this is something I won't do again in the future, but do I have any hope to rescue my hdf5 file? I presume it's only the last few rows in the tables that are causing a problem, but even tools like h5ls don't work:
