- SWMR feature
- SWMR feature will work only if an HDF5 file uner SWMR access resides on
- the file systems that obey POSIX write() semantics. SWMR will not work on
- the network file systems (e.g., NFS, SMB/Windows file shares), since
- those systems do not guarantee write odering. SWMR regression tests will
- fail if run on a network file system.
+ The SWMR feature will only work if an HDF5 file under SWMR access resides
+ on a file system that obeys POSIX write() ordering semantics. Because of
+ this, SWMR will not work on network file systems (e.g., NFS, SMB/Windows
+ file shares), since those systems do not guarantee write odering. SWMR
+ regression tests are likely to fail if run on a network file system. SWMR
+ is currently not tested on Windows though it can be tested manually
+ (some of the SWMR test programs are built by CMake) and there are no
+ obvious reasons for it to not work on NTFS or GPFS.
