Hi folks
though I never experienced problems with corrupted HDF5 files I just
wonder if there is a tool available to repair damaged HDF5 files?
regards

Not sure if it will 'repair' a file but 'h5debug' might help diagnose what
is wrong with the file?
For that matter, 'h5dump' and 'h5ls' also migth provide some information
I think maybe The HDF Group could use an h5fck (like fsck for a
file-system).

Eugen,
There is no such tool. There is a diagnostic tool h5check (http://www.hdfgroup.org/products/hdf5_tools/h5check.html) that validates HDF5 metadata, but it doesn't repair the file if corrupted piece of metadata found.

I agree, something like h5fck would be an interesting tool.
Maybe one can even do more. What I was thinking about was something like
an HDF5 carving tool (like scalpel for file systems) which tries to
rescue as much data as possible from a corrupted file.
I do not know if this is possible. I just had a look at the binary data
layout of HDF5 files and was wondering if something like this already
exists 
regards
Eugen

This tool is possible and it is on our wish list.
My usual appeal:
If someone is interested to sponsor tool's development we can come up with cost estimate.
If someone is interested and willing to develop and maintain this tool, The HDF Group developers will be more than happy to guide the development!
