Hi, We did test with mpich-3.1.1 and hdf5-1.8.13 and found that that did not work. Probably because we need hdf5-1.8.14 or whatever branch Mohamad has that is aware of the update/fixes to ROMIO or MPICH.
If you guys can point us to some hdf5 snapshot or branch that is aware of the ROMIO updates we can certainly help test that out with our code.
