Strange error message when trying to r+ open a file that does not exist

OSError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/tmp/experiment.zarr'
>>> fh = z5py.File('/tmp/experiment.zarr', 'w')

That "read-only filesystem" message is bizarre.

This error is thrown here: https://github.com/constantinpape/z5/blob/master/src/python/module/z5py/file.py#L84 When trying to open a file in r or r+ that doesn't exist.

I agree that the error could be improved, PRs are welcome.

For reference, here's what h5py throws in this situation:

h5py.File("x.h5", "r+")
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] Unable to open file (unable to open file: name = 'x.h5', errno = 2, error message = 'No such file or directory', flags = 0, o_flags = 0)
