mounted files and metadata caches?

Hdf-forum archives

From the forum and the HDF docs, I see there is a file-level metadata cache and also per-dataset caches

If I have 1 HDF5 file that contains global stuff, and I mount 10s to 100s of other HDF5 files as children of the first file... Do I have 1 metadata cache? Or, is there a metadata cache for every actual filesystem file?

Thanks,
Steve

  There will be a metadata cache for each file system file.
