[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #83222] History for write_netcdf Error

[John Halley Gotway via RT]

----------------------------------------------------------------
  Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------

Greetings again!

This might be an internal error with my computer, but I noticed that
starting this morning, I could no longer use MET to write netCDF output.
MET itself works fine, but whenever it must write a netCDF file, I get the
following error with no data:

*ERROR  : write_netcdf() -> trouble opening output file {FILENAME}*

Have you seen this issue before? Thank you again!

Mike

Mike,

Hmm, good question.  There's nothing about that error message you sent
that
jumps out at me as being an obvious problem.

In my experience, the most likely reason for this type of error would
be
that you don't have permission to write to the output directory,
perhaps
that directory doesn't exist, or perhaps there's no space left on the
device.

So I'd suggest ruling out those types of explanations first.

Thanks,
John

Thank you John,

I thought that the drive may have gone read-only, but I confirmed
yesterday
that was not true. BUT, with some recent testing...I can create MET
netCDF
files on my hard-drive, just not the external drive.

Either way, I am fairly confident this is not an issue with MET
itself. You
may close this ticket, and I thank you for your quick and helpful
response.

Mike
