[Pytables-users] fat32 and pytables on Linux

[Ryan K. <rya...@co...>]

I have a problem running pytables on a Fat32 partition on Linux.  If I 
run the table2.py example from anywhere on my Linux partition, it works 
fine.  But if I copy it to somewhere on my fat32 partion, file.close() 
generates the following error:

HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 library version: 1.6.4 thread 0.  Back 
trace follows.
  #000: H5F.c line 2175 in H5Fflush(): flush failed
    major(04): File interface
    minor(29): Unable to initialize object
  #001: H5F.c line 2849 in H5F_flush(): low level flush failed

properly
    major(05): Low-level I/O layer
    minor(23): Seek failed

The same error occurs for any flush() or close() comand if the *.h5 file 
is on the fat partition.  My system is dual boot and all my research 
files need to be on the fat partition to be accessible to both windows 
and linux.

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks,

Ryan
