[MITgcm-support] issue using mdsioLocalDir with control package

[Matthew Mazloff]

Hello

Yes, it does look like there is an inconsistency between ecco_cost_weights.F and the packing routines.

For define ALLOW_PACKUNPACK_METHOD2  it should work as they both use  active_read_xyz to read the mask

But undef ALLOW_PACKUNPACK_METHOD2 uses MDSREADFIELD_3D_GL to read the mask….Should we switch this?

Although, glancing the code it does seem this should still work as mdsioLocalDir is attached as a prefix in MDSREADFIELD_3D_GL on line 132. What is the error message you are getting?

and are you using useSingleCPUIO?

Matt

This leads to an error though, because MDSREADFIELD_3D_GL (which needs to read maskCtrlC) seems to expect all files to be in a single directory. Is this a bug or have I configured incorrectly?
