Is it possible to recover a NetCDF-4 file after a system crash?
My system crashed while a NetCDF-4 file was open for writing. The file
has an unlimited dimension which is used by all variables in the file.
According to ncdump, the value of this dimension is 0 hence none of the
variable data are available. The actual value of this dimension is
definitely not zero (the file is several GB in size).
FAQ (http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/faq.html) has
instructions for recovering files in the classic and 64-bit offset
formats. Would something similar work for a NetCDF-4 format?
Thanks!
