Re: [netcdfgroup] exodus: netCDF file or not?

What's the value of the mode argument you are passing to

     nc_open_par(const char *path, int mode, MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Info info,

The call is from [1] with
```
NC_NOWRITE == 0
NC_SHARE == 2048
pariomode == 32768

32768 is 0x8000 or NC_PNETCDF
```
so eventually the mode argument is
```
NC_NOWRITE|NC_SHARE|pariomode == 34816
```
Looks suspicious?

No, that's all legal, if unusual -- I am glad to see you are exercising the "Argonne/Northwestern parallel netcdf" driver feature of NetCDF-4.

These flags will create a classic netcdf file.

Why would such a file be unreadable on another system?

Well, if the other system is also requesting NC_PNETCDF, it's possible the Unidata-NetCDF library was not built with pnetcdf support, though nc_open_par should just detect the format.

Hi all,

I'm trying to read the file
```
http://win.ua.ac.be/~nschloe/other/pacman.e
```
in parallel with `nc_open_par` [1]. This works on one machine, but
returns the error code `-51` ("Not a netCDF file") on another.
Could someone clarify this?

Cheers,
Nico
