The chunk size is a parameter for the storage of the data. It is a property of a dataset in the file (and so has to be set to the same value on every processor). It does not restrict the number of elements that you write but its value can influence the performance and/or compression efficiency. Pierre > > Thank you very much for your help, Mohamad!
