Re: getfilevardimsizes returning _FillValue for NetCDF4 files opened with addfiles

Keith,

We have figured out the problem and fixed in our code trunk.
As you are using geyser (at NCAR), you may try tomorrow
(use 6.2.0 nightly build) to see if this issue is fixed.

Please let us know if there is still any issue left or any new issues.

Thanks,

Wei
