I have this attached file (I deleted most of the stuff out of it except an example of the problem). First, I was repacking it with compression and comparing it and getting diffs. Then I tried to copy it outright and I was getting diffs. Also, you can just plain diff against itself, and diffs show up. The datatype is a compound data type I've defined which is for a table used as a log file. I'm using h5diff 1.8.4. The file was written with version 1.8.2. Any idea why diffs would show up even when diffing the file against itself?
$ h5diff -r c.h5 c.h5
dataset: </readDataItemTest/Logfile> and </readDataItemTest/Logfile>
size: [1] [1]
position Logfile Logfile difference
c.h5 (11.1 KB)
