Hi Matthew, Yes, we plan to address this limitation in the HDF5 1.10 release (1.10.2) that will be done by the end of the year.

Will this restriction be relaxed in the near future? We often access data from programs executed in different directories than the HDF5 datasets (where the main VDS file resides). When creating the VDS file, we use relative paths to form the mapping for portability. Thanks, Matthew _______________________________________________ Hdf-forum is for HDF software users discussion.
