Start again with a new unpacking of netcdf-fortran.

@brtnfld what is the assert line?

I cannot reproduce this problem on my linux workstation. Are you using mpich or openmpi? You are building HDF5 with --enable-parallel and netcdf-c with --enable-parallel-tests? And you are seeing a...

OK, that's a quick fix from the HDF5 team! Good work! Meanwhile, should we also remove this assert from netCDF? Since the HDF5 fix won't come out until the next...

Yes, that's what I had in mind. I think we already allow them to specify a plugin directory, right? And then they have to set the environment varialble HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH to...

I think it should just take that directory, and set it programmatically whenever netcdf starts. So the user does not have to set HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable for filters to work.

What good can possibly come of allowing the user to install filters in one place, and then look for them in another? Let there be zero or one directory specified...

I would say that the netcdf installation has the global path and the user should set the HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable to include his local plugin directory. Yes, a true path...

You are using HDF5 1.10, which is old. Can you try with the most recent release? Also, can you turn compression off and see what happens? You are using a...

What I'm seeing is that you get different file sizes with different behavior. This is expected in HDF5. If you think this is a bug in HDF5, then you should...
