[netCDF #DKO-629995]: ccsm failure related to netcdf problem???

Hi Klaus,

We saw a similar error in August 2004 on an AIX system, but it turned out to 
have nothing to do with netCDF.  The problem then occurred when trying to write 
a file a litle larger than 2 Gbytes on a file system not configured for large 
file offsets.

You could test if this is the problem you're seeing by invoking the following 
Unix commands in a writable directory on the same file system on which you are 
trying to write a netCDF file:

        dd if=/dev/zero bs=1000000 count=3000 of=foo
        ls -l foo
        rm foo

which should write a 3 GByte file named "foo" in the current directory, verify 
its size, and remove it.

If that's not the problem, please let us know.
