Ooops! I'd like to be wrong, but if the file has got corrupted, I'm afraid that you will not be able to retrieve your data anymore :-( The situation is similar to switch off a filesystem without properly unmounting it, with the additional burden that there are not, to my knowledge, a repairing tool for corrupted HDF5 files. Right now, the best technique to not loose many data when working with HDF5 files is to take a defensive approach and create backup files from time to time. I know that somebody in this list was also worried by these kind of issues, and perhaps he can say more on this. Sorry about that, -- >0,0< Francesc Altet http://www.carabos.com/ V V Cárabos Coop. V.
