You can't. This is currently not implemented in HDF5 itself (but I think they are working in smart reuse of unused space in future 1.10.x release). But you can always get rid of this space by explicitly copying the file via h5repack or ptrepack. Another possibility is to use an EArray in your app, since it does support extensibility right out-of-the-box. -- Francesc Alted
