[petsc-users] Argument out of range error only in certain mpi sizes

[Smith, Barry F.]

  There is a rather detailed routine for computing the HDF5 chunk size that PETSc uses for its parallel IO in VecGetHDF5ChunkSize() which is called from VecView_MPI_HDF5_DA(). (Note the this attempts to optimize it for the parallel IO that PETSc is doing). I don't understand HDF5 chunk sizes so don't know the relationship between a chunk size used for writing to a HDF5 file and reading from it.

Or is this something I shouldn't really worry about (not that it affects me now but it would be good to not have a slow read from a python script for post-processing).
