Dear IDLers,
I am using IDL to post-process a large amount of NCDF files, e.g.
creating new NCDF files by copying parts of many original files.
I am using IDL Version 7.1.1 (linux x86_64 m64) WITH the ITT "NCDF Large
File support" patch for linux.
I noticed that a very annoying unpredictable error occurs once in a
while, e.g:
NCDF_VARPUT: Operation Failed, bad file (7208960) or variable (6) id ?
(NC_ERROR=-101)
Again, the error occurs randomly, but after many experiments I came to
these conclusions:
- this happens very often when working on files stored on network drives
- this happens often when working on files stored on external USB drives
- this happens often when other processes are running parallel to IDL
- this happens less often when using IDL in command line (without
workbench)
Are other IDL users experiencing similar problems? Is it platform
specific or Version specific?
I'd be grateful for any tip! Thanks in advance,
Fab
