[petsc-users] Unable to create >4GB sized HDF5 files on Cray XC30

Splendid.

Actually, I didn't ask for it. I only asked for a bug to be fixed. A bug which 
means > 4 GB Vec cannot be saved into a HDF5 file using PETSc VecView, because 
chunking *was* introduced, but with insane chunk sizes (i.e. the *global* 
instead of local Vec size for each chunk).

Anyway, that's just so the record gets set straight: this is NOT a feature 
request, this is a bug.

Thanks, but no need to: if I'm too slow, I'm happy with someone else's fix. In 
fact, I do not have much time to use on this, so I really hope someone else 
beats me to it.

But what I really meant by timetable was that when is the next 3.4.x due and 
when do you need the fix if it is to go to the next release?

Cheers,
Juha
